there's no photo... (or just i can't see it)

oops, it's there now.

:)

interesting abstract.

Looks almost like a computer-generated telephone company advertisement. I suppose I mean that as a compliment, however.

Absolutely fantastic! The blue of the sky almost blend with it's reflection of the mirror ball. Just beautiful!

Here's the proof that an object can be view and photographed in several ways, each of it very different.

Very cool photo - I love it! It took me a few minutes to realize how it was taken (thought it was a regular image distorted by Photoshop at first).

Makes me feel like I could slip off the edge of the world ;-).

I like this one the best of the ones you have taken of the mirror ball. the offset framing works well, and gives the image enough color contrast between the red sidewalk reflections nad the blue, while still retaining a smooth transition between the sky and its reflection in the ball. awesome persepctive!

Very interesting...what exactly is it??!

This is rather beautiful! the colours look superb very rich and warm.

A planet of our time. Another dimension. Great !

Strange, I was looking at the previous shots earlier & wanted to see more. This one's incredible. I really like it.

Just to let you know your search missed one out [link].

It really is an amazing subject, and you really do it justice with your shots.
Not sure I see the self portrait in this one tho, im sure its there and im too tired/lazy to find it.
You think you can squeeze any more shots out of the subject?

Groovy!

This rocks! I thought it was some sort of globe at first. Its an amazing structure too.

The colors are just superb. Nice one David!

I had to look twice before I realized that it looks like an island made of mirrors in a blue sea, rather than a globe in the sky. Nice double perspective.

Sweet shot. It totally looks like a island.

You may already know this but your white/gray/dark CSS links aren't working.

The white/grey/dark links are working OK here: using Firefox 1.5.01.

Spectacular colors in the shot, and I like how you positioned it to seem like we're looking down on the globe.

JD: yep, I'm sure there's another shot or two ;-) As for the self-portrait: you can just see my hand in the bottom right segment of the image.

Max: they're working ok for me. Is anyone else having problems with them?

Wow - I love it Dave. It's so abstract, it almost looks like it's computer generated, but I love that it's not ;)

Dave, the links have worked for me in the past but I'm getting a Javascript error when I click on them now. I'm using IE6 but it could just be me.

OMFG AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

in-fucking-credible

uhh very nice, like a puzzle!

This is so fascinating. It forces you to spend time gazing at it. I like that in a photo...when you have to spend time looking at its intricacies...

almost looks like it was taken underwater! brilliant

sort of reminds me of the coolaid guy with an eye patch ;O

wonderful as usual ;-)

"Ground Control to Major Tom ..."

You've done superbly interpreting and presenting this image. Even knowing this pic is the mirror ball of past examples does nothing to diminish its impact. I like the atmospheric blues and how they blend, the "land mass" colors and regions. The flipped presentation also works extremely well.

Just very, very good all the way 'round.

"Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon.
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do."

Whoa, very cool!

Amazing shot. In the thumbnail, it looks exactly like a beach.

Great composition on this one, David. Well done; one of my faves of yours in a while.

The snaked planet... Very interesting

I don't know which one i found better. This one or that one

But with the blue sky it seems a little bit unreal :-)

woaw la planète photoblog is de retour coming back with a preety morning smile

good morning everybody fool bloggers !

It looks like something from outer space - great colours.

Is our planete in the space? It's your best of all others shots of this mirror.

Thats really quite cool, why couldn't the sky look like that when i went to blackpool the other week, we had horrendous weather :-)

amazing colours.

Cracking shot, that's one hell of a mirror ball! The edge of the ball against the sky looked like the edge of a reef at first glance! Magical sky

Wicked COOL :D Nothing less than that

I do like thia, it is as if it ia marooned out to sea.

oooohhhh

TOTALLY awesome, David! Wow! I keep staring...

What can i say? This is out of the world stuff!

Nautical, celestial and terrestrial all at once. Thanks again, sir
for inspiring me to look harder, think harder, shoot better.

Wow! The disco ball of all disco balls. Very celestial and cool. For some reason, I'm quite drawn to revolving around it.

It appears that everyone loves this photo. I'm trying to come up with something to be critical of, just to be different...but I can't seem to think anything. Although I very much like the analogy that it looks like the Kool-Aid guy with an eye-patch.

Anywho... I like the composition very much. Nice job!

Very Nice! Sharp looking! www.evan7.com

very sharp and unique. gorgeous colouring.

stunning shot truly..

This is a really interesting and lovely image, you can really look at it for a long time :=)
A big thank you to you for daring to share your creativity

ok, i admit, firt i wonder "great cgi image!" then i realise that it was real. damned. even "impressive" wouldn't be enough. amazing.

Amazing shot David....at first I thought that it was suuspended in water...a very good analogy for the earth actually!

Excellent shot Dave! Love that sky and great composition.

This is great! I love your angles... when at first its hard to comprehend whats going on....great work as always

Thanks everyone, I was pleased with this one too.

I love this - one of my favourites!

wow...

wonderful wonderful wonderful

This picture is quite simply "genius" (and you might suspect how much I loathe saying that to anyone but the mirror)...and in that vein of veracity, I'll tell you exactly what I thought when I saw it (free-association style). The lyrics of "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran. ...."Oooooh, oooh....This is Planet Earth.....You're looking at planet Earth". The sphere seems to be straining its neck to display itself to the heavens...like some retro-glam radio telescope adopted by a particularly kitsch member of the SETI project.

(I told you I needed a holiday....)

I like that it take some contemplation to realize where you are in the picture.

incredible

Looks linke an Island in the sea!

DEAR DAVID, GREAT PHOTO!
your friend, logu.it

the abstract is sweet but it looks even better when it changes and part of the abstract is under the water
