final edit: cropped off a tad from the bottom and sharpened up a little more. -Techo

Thanks Abstract. I'll consider a re-crop but at the moment I like the crop as it is . Then again, I could just take a snip off of the bottom. -Techo :)

i like what i see here very much. neat and clean. there is just a bit extra unnecessary space at the bottom for my taste though. in any case, i like it. -Abstract

Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone :) What you see in the background is again, my computer monitor. I've seen these internally lit globes but I don't have one , wish I did. It's just a spur of the moment photo. I did ask someone to give me hand, took 3 takes and this one came out satisfactory. Everyone's just grumpy at 1am ;) What I wanted to do is use a flashlight to get a nice flare reflections from the glass sphere, that would've been try#2 ;) Haven't taken a single photo today but really hope to get something new done by tommorow evening, hope to find an extra pair of hands too. Lonnit, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try. Regards to all, -Techo

Great! What is the black border around the sphere? Gotta run now!!

Very nice. I'd think a better hand position would be holding between thumb and middle finger, with index finger straight, however that would be a feminine hand so you'd have to use a feminine hand. Good concept, well done. ~ Lonnit

Very nice! How did you do the lighting on the globe ?? I really like the contrast of the hand and the round outline of the mag glass or whatever it is you are holding in your hand :) jano
