I like them both.. it does seem to me tho that they are tilting a little - I think it's the effect of the shadow to the right, makes it look not quite flat but I'm sure they are in reality.

I like the 1st a lot! it's very nice as is, but I wonder what it would look like if the line of shadow on the ball was straighter up and down, and what if the ball were in the center?

I like the blowout on the white because you can't see the edge of the ball where it touches the "ground" on either side, it's neat that way! :thumb

This is a nice one, though I'm undecided about color or b/w... It feels more like an airbrushed art than a photo!

There is a little bump/frizz that I think would be better removed to make the shadow more clean -- it is at the horizontal center, on the bottom edge of the shadows.

Oh, wait, I think I see where it's coming from -- there seems to be a little burr on the semisphere, just at the point closest to the foreground (you can make out a little fuzz there). Those fuzzies take away from the overall cleanness of the work.

I'm starting to like this one a lot. I call it "Birth of the Sun"

Thanks. That's currently my favorite also, but I wanted to get some opinions. You are the one that started me down that path, with the shadow to the back and the blown out exposure, thank you.:sweet
