I like this! A good, practical application of HDRI. I think I would have
chosen an object more likely to really be on that table, but heck, for all I
know you have a spherical moonstone sitting on your table in real life. ;)

I think what really gives it away is the lack of jpeg artifacts on the ball.
If you could compress it to the same level as your photo, I think you'd
really have a convincing image.

Hm, I wonder how hard it would be to write a Photoshop filter to simulate
jpeg artifacting? Worth researching a little, anyway.

Good image!
