Interesting entry for this contest!
The New Year's Eve ball is so pretty! It is standing out so well from the dark sky.
Well focused. Clear image with good use of the light,
I like the two shades of blue.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that nice looking lamp shade. Hope the ball was as good as the shade? Well done and good luck!

The ball was beautiful!

Comment from Cindy Sue Truman
This shot is amazing my artistic friend. First your clarity is perfect with no pixels that distortes lines. Second I like the crop you created. The sides and top have negative space with the bottom having none. Somehow this type of crop made my vision go in a clock wise movement instead of just left to right. Very clever. Your color enhance job was Goldilocks style. NOT, too much and NOT too little, it is just PERFECT AND RIGHT. Best of Luck in the contest. Always keep your beautiful smile and your heart happy. Blessings Always~ CindySue ~
