A very good looking, striking image posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of those highly coloured, stacked marbles. Your various treatments have worked out well. Well created and good luck!

    Hi Nik, Since this was going into a "Colorful contest" I wanted to have lots of colors present. Glad you enjoyed my stack of marbles! Thanks for the great review! :o) Nancy

Wow Nancy this is awesome! The soft background colors really allow the darker foreground colors and shapes to shine through. The designs and colors you have used are really great and present a nice abstract like piece of art. Really great Nancy!

I have counted them. There are 21marbles. I like that all of them have different colors and designs inside them. The colors are superb. That the background colors repeat the colors used for the marbles is appealing. The pyramid is perfect placed within the frame. The co0mposition is balanced.

    Hi Cleo, I was so busy making the marbles that I didn't realize what the count was. LOL I didn't want one marble in the stack to be a copy- cat of another. I wanted each one to be special!!! I'm so incredibly honored that you felt this deserved a six star review! Thank you so much My Friend for incredible review!!!! :o) :o) :o)

Great colors and such interesting presentation of perfect round balls and the blurred background which is complementing the focus object so nicely. Wonderful technique and so nice to view.

This is fantastic ! The colors make this immediately pleasing to view! We need color in our lives! I of course don't know much about digital painting, however I can see the time and thought and care you have applied here. 21 glass marbles, each one painted in a unique way , each one is beautiful to see! I love the look of the background as if the marbles are placed against glass that reflects the colors. The color application in the background is perfect and looking at this piece , it all goes together harmoniously! It is truly a pleasure to sit here and look at this one! Very well created, beautifully arranged and presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!

    Bless you Pat! :o) It took a long time designing those marbles. I wanted a lot of colors and the swirls that marbles are known for. Displaying them was a hard job too! I was very happy when I finally got this put this togetherI think your review is one of the nicest I've ever received ! Thank you for all the lovely compliments and 6 star rating! I truly am honored!!!!! :o) :o) :o) Nancy

What a fascinating piece! I wish I knew more about the process. It seems it would be fun to explore! The colors are beautiful. I like the pyramid composition. The background effect is particularly interesting. Nice work!

    Hi DMacKay, Every photo or art software program comes with filters, start playing with them and see what they do. It's a lot of fun and a great way of learning. That's what I do!!! :o) Thank you so much for the wonderful review! :o) Helvi
