Description
I did this back in October 2001. Given the recent attention (good and bad) to spheres over water, I figured it was worth posting.
It's understandable that the temptation to vote for either the brilliant poetry, or the well-constructed scene, will be strong, but please don't waste your vote on this. Look for an image that grabs you by the lapels and headbutts you in the face with it's stunning visual and/or emotional qualities.
