Description Photo from a session i had way back.
I just really like the glow in the ball, so i converted it to duo tone and gave it a massive blur-layer in photoshop.

It is a water ball on a cd, very regular with water on cd, but hopefully it is a tad more abstract than the regular.

Some might find the empty space a bit much, but i wanted a left centered composition here.
And i think the empty space enhances the zen feeling i was going for.

welcome to use as a wallpaper, but not for re-use.

Thats about it, if you have any questions, just ask!

Oh, and i don't know the English word for these "waterballs"
Not really the Norwegian either.
But it is tiny plastic like objects that expands and become bigger with water. ( about 500% its original size )
They have no practical use, other then giving me photo sessions and decorating a home.

No, it is more like things you putt in a glass bowl and just stare at
