Ok, I've been playing for this months compo.

Here's one image

----------

Toolset: Blender, GIMP, Indigo Render, LuxRender, TopMod, Knotplot, Ivy Gen, Plant Studio.

And here's a second cropped version which I think I prefer, so come on which do you folks prefer?

I concur, the first has more to it, somehow!

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

I like the first, but perhaps with the camera a little to the left, so that the balls are more in the bottom right corner. Might even work better with the balls in the top right (or even top left) corner, so that the reflections aren't cut off at the bottom. The second one works also, but maybe with the front ball not cut off at the bottom.

When it comes to composition, I have this thing about subjects being cropped too closely, with not enough white space around it.

1st image, and I agree about a better crop. That's also a personal preference, yet the viewers eye tends to be distracted by the small piece in the top right quad. Great color combo!
