Yup, it's a cliche and I should've gone further with it - but I'm still learning ;)

Huh. I'm trying to develope (as Skea said) my "critical eye." It isn't very advanced yet, so I can't see anything wrong with this picture. So I'm falling back on personal taste. After the wonderfully clear composition, nothing grabs me. Looks like a hallmark card. Except I really love the painted look on the ball and the fingers.

I prepare to have my first entry shot down in a hail of deletes :)

Ah well, it's the inspiration I need to try and get better, now I've seen the standards here.

(Rimbaudian) - your compositions and subject matter are simply incredible!

I fully understand the "groovy" comment, in that - yeah, hmmm, boring.

The idea was to create a stock image that would "sell" as a corny business concept, but looking at it again, it's pretty dull. Hmm, in fact, it's fairly dismal.

composition and texture it's very well reached. I like the almost-watercolour-orgouache-kindofcolour. But definitely, you need to look for a powerful history behind this nice composition

the colors contrast, the position of the fingers, the form of what you see
might be a cliche, but i totally like it. its an eye-catcher nonetheless
and well, there's pretty much you can associate with this.

simplicity still works!

Thanks, I guess your right Zelik, but hey, when I look at level of some of the top photos here, it's mind boggling - if I could ever get close to that point, I'd be happy.

Thanks for the comments !

Maybe it is just a matter of personal taste but I agree it looks great because and not despite the simplicity. I have it saved and made it today's screensaver. Thanks a lot.
