[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Fasten your seat belt, take a deep breath then...roll..ll..
This inflatable ball are called the "Zorb" or "Zorb ball". Originally, it was famous in Rotarua, New Zealand.
Last year(2006) I've had an exciting ride in this inflatable ball in Thailand at The Greennery Active Zone near Khao Yai national park.
Passengers will be strapped in a seat then the ball will start to roll you over and over from the top of the ramp(20 meters+,-) down the slope to the ground. You'll experience a lost-controll situation as it rolls a sky to your feet then the ground on your head over and over and over...
It was my unforgettable ride of the year.

definitely different,
certainly driving attention,
for sure will remind in my mind for long...
great stuff, keng,
best wishes, jerzy

It looks like a manga drawing,
I like it a lot for its original framing.

Hi Keng,
I really like the orange mixing with blue and green in this frame, It seems as the person is underwater and sleeping ! Nice POV, congrats

The colours are so vivid and the distorting effect on the plastic disturbs the vision - great!

Alastair

wow great amazin picture my friend. Really fantastic. ihsan

AH! Rare experiences, aren't they the jewels of life?

I had to click on this one because from the thumbnail, I had no idea what it was. What an original shot. I love the movement and colors.

Hi Keng-

I really like the color contrast- the oranges and blues, and I still can't make out what is going on, which only keeps me looking at the photo. I find it very fascinating.

Cheers-

Baron

The ball itself may be great invention but your image of it is even better Keng. The textures are superb and the distortions add so much value. The colours have been muted and smudged to lovely effect. Good pov and perspective.

Sense of weightlessness, giddy bleu freedom with orange perspective, looks like nothing i`ve seen before. Great pic!!!

Very futuristic, almost unreal shot - very well spotted! Orange ropes lead my eyes right into the middle of the shot. Fantastic cavalcade of colors. This pic should have ernead more points, I say...
