Magic

Fantastic reflection !! Great idea to have this ball when sitting at the table, you can tell the future to all the guests !!! Happy Saturday, Karen !!!

Lol. :D So true. It will come in handy. Merci, Marie-Claire!

Geheimnisvolle Aufnahme, wirkt sehr schön in S/W.

Danke, Uwe!

excellente idée lumineuse,

Merci, annaig. :)

un superbe travail sur les reflets dans cette boule ; résultat artistique et mystérieux

Merci beaucoup, Dan!

It's wonderful how the glass ball turns the world upside down! The soft and blurry background complements it beautifully.

It's really an intriguing thing to play around with. Danke, Gudrun. :)

Great depth of field, Karen!

Thank you, * ઇઉ *

Oh my. Lots of fun

I think it will be. Thanks, Jan!

Excellent, Karen ! And great music, too !

Danke, Ulrich. Glad you like the music too. :)

Great reflection, it reminds me that I used to hypnotise chicken with a crystal ball when I was a kid!

How funny. Thanks, Isabel!

ich sehe ein Zukunft mit Falltür!

Lol :D Danke, Chrissy!

A perfect song for this great Picture, Karen!!!

Danke, Lothar. :)

Wow and even more of a 'Wow' factor when viewing on black I say! Yes, magical and then some! Superbly done and an absolute fave for me, Karen. And, a perfect musical match to an all-time classic. Brings back memories :-) I really must fish out my Lovin' Spoonful albums :-) And also, I have a set of three cd's of John Sebastian's solo work. Believe it or not, I know exactly where they are too. I will be shortly be putting one of the cd's on the cd player :-)

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Thanks, Roger. They were such a good and fun group with such great music. I saw John Sebastian live back in the 70s when he went solo and he was so enjoyable. He seemed like he truly loved singing.

Truly magical.

Thank you, Sarah. :)

It's like seeing another world through a looking glass - quite magical! Or looking through a crystal ball!

Great songs. Love it!

Thanks, Kenny :-)

It has something of an eye, but it's definitely mysterious.
Wonderfully done and a fabulous enrichment for the theme.

Danke, Heide.

Wow, I am very impressed, Karen! So glad you got yourself a crystal ball to play with! You're already doing better than me with it!

Oh, thank you, Val. I love the pics you did! I'm looking forward to trying some outdoor shots when the weather is warmer.

That's clever Karen. Great effect. What I would give for a crystal ball at times! I remember years ago my husband teased me about my large hooped earrings and then came home with a glass domed lightshade stuck to a wooden base - a crystal ball for his 'gypsy' wife!!

Lol. Great story, Carol! :D

Thank you!

I love the upside down effect.

Yeah, that's the default with these balls. You can rotate the photo if you want and I've seen some that are really outstanding.

Wow ! First I didn`t understand WHAT I see here.
Looked like some cypresses in the glass ball. Enlarged it`s your garden, 180 degrees turned around ... stunning result !

Danke, Heidi. Great reaction! :D

Very effective indeed and a great result in b/w, Karen.

Thanks, George!

A very good one!
Interesting, how the background pushes the space between the boards (?- of the balustrde) to attention. Particulary I like the pattern of the wooden table in the glass ball.

Thank you, Leon. Yes, it is interesting how it all works.

Hi Karen

This is so very clever, an optical illusion if you like!
Gets a big star from me!

Best wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

Thanks so much, Peter. :)

interesting b/w work - good depth, Hubs
