What do you guys think? How's the composition? C&C appreciated.

I like it! The big ball on the left kind of dominates and is at odds with the arched ceiling, but it is what it is. The whole thin has a kind of tension that keeps one looking.

I agree I think the shot is good however the ball in the upper left grabs my attention to much. The colors and lines are very nice the balls at the bottom compliment the curved celling well. However if you moved the camera down to get the other ball out of the frame I don't think the picture would be as strong. Also if you cropped the ball out I don't think that would work well. Sometimes you just have to live with the surroundings. Unless you could get up there and cut that ball down LOL.

I really like it. I'm drawn to the colors, the curves, and the reflections. For me the large ball pulls the high ceiling and the other balls together. A bit distracting, true, but part of what makes the overall photo compelling.

I think this shot is great. The balls give the eyes direction across the frame out into the distant. Love the colors in this.

Very nicely composed and exposed. I love the colors and the play of light, and although there's a lot to look at, it all comes together well visually. And like missionbeachgirl, I find that the foreground ball helps give some balance, rather than distracts. It's there, but it doesn't pull my eye.

Thanks guys, I also wasn't sure about the big ball on the left but I guess it works with the pic.
