Just Marbles

Not much time or desire to go looking for a photo today. I decided to try to create an image, something I rarely do. An old mason jar filled with marbles was my inspiration. A frosted bathroom window in the evening light helped to create the bokeh.

I'd like to say a big THANK YOU for your responses to my fair photo "The Big Tilt". It was very exciting to read your enthusiastic comments and receive so many favs. It even hit the Popular Page briefly which is always a thrill. Thank you, all!
Oh, well done! Love the tones and feeling of "light"

This is very lovely shot, love the tones and that bokeh. I know what you mean, I too create big very seldom but I think it's fun and very effective way to learn new tricks and force some inspiration

This is great, love the idea and the shot works so well. I hardly ever try to create images either, I find it so difficult but you've done a great job on this one, superb focus and processing too.

I love Ball jars and you've captured both fabulous bokeh and great glass reflections!
August 26th, 2013  
Great idea to include three kinds of glass in the image. The word "Ball" goes well with the spherical marbles too.
