Description
Far in the future everybody's favorite reflective balls have very little water to float over. They find water underground with dowsing rods and drop themselves into the ground. The force of their impact brings the water to the surface. After so many impacts they have lost their perfect reflections, and their surface begins to get marred.
Actually this is more of a political piece about the overuse of these reflective balls. Every newbie to Bryce has to do at least one image of a reflective ball floating over water. Not to say its a bad thing, in fact it is sort of like the first program every programmer learns, Hello World. Okay, I'm not sure what I was trying to say really. It was just an original way of using the reflective balls to me. Somebody else has probably done the same thing. Tear it apart, give me your worst critiques! And rate it as terribly as you see fit. Please?

Maybe they're classic because they can be so pleasing to look at - and you've made a very pleasing image. Thanks.

I was thinking that if I ever win a challenge again I might set my challenge as "Silver balls over water" and see what different things people can come up with.
