Fine work indeed.

A few suggestions:

a) More interesting sky.

b) Head complete with sunhat looking down to see which ball is
closest
    (reflected of balls).

c) A tree behind the camera reflected on the balls and casting a
patchy       shadow over the imediate vicinity, (you'll need
Gilless' tree macro for     this from:
http://www.mediaport.net/Artichaud/Tran/gtran.en.html


Keep up the good work and let us see the finished product.

Cheers
Steve
