Excellent photo that has a nice narrative element that really uses the lensball well. The choice to use red and blue gels on your light works well, especially with the way those colours swap sides for the refraction. The ball is also well placed with the eyes and the jewellery in the background leading the eyes to the ball. Nice work, and congrats on winning this contest.

Lensball photography involves using a crystal ball which acts as both an external wide-angle lens and a photographic tool that inverts images inside the lensball due to the magic of refraction which occurs. This transpires due to the lensball's spherical shape and the bending of light when hitting the object of denser mass, in this case the crystal. The wide-angle and refraction can result in stunning creative photography in a variety of areas whether it be landscape or street photography.
