Nice shot!

Very cool work and great dedication

Fantastic capture !

Delicious image! Everything about this is a joy!

Splendid image! :)

There are so many Sagittarians here! It's wonderful. Another lovely shot Lucinda. Of coarse, I can not resist coloured glass and the light it casts. This one seems so fluid like it was just blown a moment ago. The blob allowed to splash onto the table, morph into a thousand different forms until cooling froze it in this this organic shape. The glass together with the patterns on the table remind me of a great fiery rose. A lovely treat for your friend. Cheers!

Very nice glass work love it ((5++))

Wow Lucinda, this is such an amazing work of art you captured and is the perfect birthday dedi to your friend. I've always been fascinated with glass art, and love to watch the artists down at Silver Dollar City in the summer as they fashion bowls, glasses, and all sorts of cool things.

I absolutely LOVE this beautifully artistic photo of this gorgeous Chihuly glass art. Thank you for sharing. :)

very beautiful

FABULOUS WORK

Liquid magic. It looks like it was just poured out of a container. A very colorful gift for Anaber.

this is wonderful looking

It's delightful and still so organic looking - and I cannot get enough of Dale Chihuly's design, simply put: it's 'EYE CANDY' - he is a master of his creations ... one wants to touch it immediately ! it brings warm and beautiful feelings to the surface, to be enveloped by such striking vibrancy, a wonderful present, with your personal touch, for your friend Ana and a 'Happy Birthday' to her ... take care Lucinda, BB

a swirl of loveliness

A delightful image!

Absolutely fantastic and the colors are just wonderful for the eyes and soul to see. Super dedi for our dear friend :)

Stunning photograph and Dedi.

A lovely abstract Lucinda.

Hi, my dearest Lucinda!! I am sorry for being late... I thank you very much all your wishes to me and for this wonderful Gift. I love this image of 'Liquid Fire' a lot...its texture and all the unforeseen shapes that it makes…i love the colours, the incredible tones of the Sun shining in this image and this beautiful ‘feeling’’ of 'fluid' that you captured . It is stunning!! This view of ‘fire’ touches me till the core. It has a special and deep meaning to me…because i do love the fire !! Fire, it is a challenge and a mistery to me, it is the Yin-Yang, inside myself and makes me think often about LIFE, and how it changes and scrolls by itself…it is an element of the Nature that grabs me deeply and often I think, that it is the generative principle of all things…but in the concept, to me, it means transformation. Fire it is colour. Fire it is Light and Heat..and can be so dangerous also, IF, If for a moment, we have the ‘crazy’ wish to walk through it…but mainly:) it speaks to me about Love and Strenght. Fire is so Powerful!!! Thank you very much for make me think in all this…and because you offered me a beauty…a ‘swirl of loveliness, like someone said above. Thank you, dear Lucinda once more, all the wishes that you sent me, and my deepest greetings for everybody here.

Gorgeous glass work and shot!!!!!

That's beautiful and a lovely dedi

What gracefully shapes, with beautiful reflections and colors, are to see in this lovely card for your friend, Lucinda. A really happy dedi, my friend.

This glass is so beautiful!! x

You should be the official Chihuly photographer. I've never seen such a wonderful angle on his work (well ... at least not since your last Chihuly post!) :)

I'm glad to see that others feel the same way about your chihuly work as I do. It shows that it's not just 'me'. As a capture of his marvelous swooping ins and outs, of his twists and turns and intersecting highways (that glass affords), of the light transformations and light-journeys, etc etc etc, your chihuly photography is a fine-tuned capture of an artist's vision. (I've remarked before about your artists' captures, in shots you've taken of other artists' works and artifacts. In fact, you are one of a small group of photographers who have a very fine way of capturing artworks on 'film'.) But...it's also a beautiful photo by itself. In the swirling world of Chihuly, you seem to know all the places to stand, the povs and glimpses into his inner worlds, in order to get a unique vision of it. I wonder if, in a display, you feel any frustration that you can't shoot it from every angle your eye sees, because galleries are often limited as to where you can stand: You can't always get behind, to the side, under, etc, the way you could if the artwork were standing in nature. But this view---this image---is a whole piece of art in itself. A big red profusion of sweeping deep-crimsons, almost a Bryce piece; with a wonderful opening---the big opening in the center, revealing those yellows and lighter reds inside---and a---what?---splayed 'wing', as the glass swirls around that opening, with the more earth toned surface behind it (left side), and that stark white which we presume is the 'surface' upon which this glass stands. In one way, it's a flat abstract of shapes and forms, and in another, it's a sensuously curvy abstract of motion and transmuting lights. It's all in motion, yet you caught a single "posture," like it posed this way for you. The light, as in all your Chihuly pieces, is beautiful, in all its hues...And it's for Ana, whose comment leaves mine in the dust, but then she walks with fire and light and light and shadow and deep hues all the time. This was perfect for her. (Alan Williams said "swirl of fire," and he's one of my favorite photographers here, which lends his comment a special weight.) A beautiful, passionate swirl of light and heat for our dear and special friend, which obviously touched her, and which she deserved. And for you, it's a painting made with a camera, you have a very special way with chihuly, you make his art your own. A beautiful photo and a beautiful dedi. Happy birthday once more, dear Ana!

gorgeous design and colors my friend, excellent textures, fine details, congratulations!

Exquisite colors and capture!
