Having finally, enlightened myself via the web, I now feel a little less ignorant and a little more comfortable in venturing to comment. This is a beautiful piece, well photographed and pleasingly composed.

I have to admit that blues are my favourite colours as well. I can appreciate the skill in hand blowing and forming this piece. In my early days I dabbled in this art a little but could not confess to actually producing something entirely expected.

Thanks for stimulating my knowledge base Pops. This is a very apealing image. ~ Regards Melbob

Yes, I seem to recall some Chihuly shots from you in previous Challenges, Pops. So it might indeed be from you. Please do let us know eventually! :-) Regards jnconradie

Blue is my favorite color, too!

Yep, I love blue. But this is not mine. Sorry, Cat. I was thinking Susan Craig or Julie Bird (not shu for some reason - I will have to think why?) Nice interpretation of the theme, by the way! Regards jnconradie
