You must have had a great mirror... usually abberations in the reflected image are a dead giveaway in these types of shots, but you have kept it to a minimum. Visually stunning and the shot angle is perfect. ScarBoro

Very good! I love it. And I would hardly be laughing at your setup, it's almost identical to mine! SarahD

I just love the mood of this shot. Your perspective makes these balls appear to float. Very nice execution that many have tried but failed to get such a nice finish. It's amazing that sometimes you plan so little and get such a great shot! (debadguy)

Looks like they are suspended in air -- nice! Lighting is also very effective. Helen

A great job, it makes you look and wonder how in the world it was done. - Shay

Don't laugh....
I did this in my apartment, on my kitchen counter, with a mirror for a base, my livingroom lamp as my lighting (no flash), the popcorn ceiling as the background (reflection in the mirror). I also balanced the mirror on a stack of office papers (I own my own business) I had brought home..... try balancing two spheres on a stack of paper! LOL Hey, time was of essence, I didn't have any! Are you amused now? Not sure you believe me here but, it's how I did it. My brother in law posts on this site too, Pablo....he's got more time that he knows what to do with.....wish it were me! Take care.
