Whaoo! Great one Alain. I like it just the way it is. The background provides interest without overpowering, and the "sudden impact" of this type of toys is captured perfectly. The reflections give it a nice touch. Well done

Hi Alain,
It is the perfect illustrattion for the theme. The lighting is great and the image looks very good. For me however the stillness of the 5 balls dominates the image a bit too much. Maybe an alternative lighting could put more emphasis on the "energy" of teh moving ball...

Marc.

G'day Alain, great idea to fit the theme perfectly with the momentary transfer of energy each time and almost perfectly captured. I love the composition and shutter speed. My only thought is whether you had considered doing something with the band across the top of the frame. Cheers, John

As Donald intimates this is a throw back to the executive toy of the 80's.

Nicely lit and shot though I suspect there are many more views/angles just waiting to be taken of this most simple of 'toys'.

I am glad someone found the motion machine. I thought about doing the same pic but couldn't find one around. Funny it used to be so voge, now they can only be found in dusty atttics. Good shot!

Is that dust or water on the balls? Right on theme, I like the reflections, and the definite impact of energy the motion brings.
