Intriguing image with very atmospheric lighting. Not sure "where" you'd like your viewer to look; the upper surface of the sphere is interesting but so is the texture under the stand. A compelling but slightly frustrating picture. Interesting work.

This is stunning and magical. I can hardly sort out what I'm looking at but it's tough to look away! You could tell me it's a water droplet before it strikes or a portal to another world and I'd believe you. Mesmerizing!

Using a glass ball can be fun but it is really challenging to have enough light without creating unwanted glare or highlights. I do like the rim light you have created around the sphere but for me there is no focal point. Something would normally clearly be reflected/refracted in the ball. I think a higher aperture for sharpness, single point focus on the ball  and a tripod with a slower SS to improve light, so no flash needed... happy framing

Nice picture and you can use it also in next week challenge black and white.
