Unusual Christmas Decoration

I found these large ornaments floating in a pond at the Botanic Gardens last week. The wind picked up fiercely just as I got to the gardens, so I had to look for something other than flowers to shoot. Went to the fountains and this is what I found! C&C welcomed.

    Interestign find. :D I am curious if the wind put those in there as well. As for a critique. Without your description it is hard to tell what I am looking at. It all just seems to be a bunch of shapes and such in your frame no real composition or pattern. If you were going for abstract I woluld have gotten in even closer and looked for some repeating paterns in some of the balls. If not goign for an abstract I would have stepped back and captured more of the pond so we can see these are Christmas ornaments in a pond and what a weird scene it was.
    Would love to hear from you on my blog, or website!
