Wow, what a cool thing to photograph. How did you keep yourself out of the reflections in it?!?!

The closeup view really does work very well.

Thanks all!

kimbomac,

Some of the other pics I took, I did definitely notice at the time, that my reflection was apparent from up close So I took this one while crouching down just enough to hide behind the tiny bushes, so I don't appear in the sphere. Good eye!
