About This one's for Ina...she encouraged me to go back to the Bellagio in Vegas and get some shots of these pieces of glass.
If you're ever in Vegas you really need to see this. The ceiling in the lobby of the Bellagio is covered with these pieces...my husband and I tried to estimate how many and gave up...probably several hundred...each about 3' across. There is a huge skylight behind them for backlighting. It's amazing. The artist is Dale Chihuly. There's lots of info online if you want to see more of his work.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks Ina!

I like the presentation and how you treated Chihuly's work as a photographic subject. The framing is bit heavy for me, although the black really sets off the colorful glass forms beautifully. I'll bet this looks awesome printed at a large scale.

Great Shot Susie,

Glad to see someone else is a Chihuly fan, as well as me. We have a big exhibition of his work, here in the Botanical Gardens,Kew,London. I'm still in the process of adding more shots I've taken recently on to my space here at UF. Hope you like what you see. You have a cool portfolio by the way.

Thanks Ina. It was all thanks to you that I went back there. (Really!) The first time I didn't "see" these individually. When I went back this collage idea took root. So thanks again for the prompting. This is a double dedication to you I guess! :)

The minute i saw the image, i was like
emm this reminds of chihuly's work a lot
and then noticed the title.
i like the crop and the way you arranged
the shots together, very nice framing.

Chihuly is one of my favourite contemporary
Artists, his work is very inspiring and
filled with life. A statement i read for him
has been always a key to my work. He said once:
"Do not Draw the tree the way you see it, but
the way you feel it"

Thanks for sharing this wonderful Art with us.
Regards,
Zahraa

Wow, any one of these would make a great abstract, and the four together like this have a terrific impact. Las Vegas is one of the most popular destinations these days for Japanese travelers, specially newlyweds on honeymoon. Definitely the Bellagio is a place to visit if I'm ever near...

WOW!!! You've really captured these wonderful glass flowers superbly. I have a few photos of this ceiling but my shots didn't come out anywhere near as nice as these. Yours really show the translucency in the glass and gorgeous curves in the craftmanship. The colours are beautiful. Great job Susie and I know the lighting is difficult there. Another hit! I really enjoy your work. Keep it rolling in. Cheers - Ann :)

It's been years since I have been to Vegas, but after seeing this image and others from Vegas that have been posted on usefilm, I think it might be time for another trip. Hopefully, of wonderful images like the one you have captued here vs losing my wages.

The colors in the glass and the lighting is fantastic.

It's wonderful the way you have presented this with the black framing and the four images. It gives of sense that you are looking at a piece of stained glass.

I can image what a beautiful sight this is to see in person.

Just read Ina's comment...apparently she likes it! :) I thought the very same thing when I looked at the thumbnail. I thought it might be jelly fish, or some other form of sea life!

Hi Susie, OH-My_G! I was just about to turn off the UF - (hard to do!) and I spotted this wonderful, absolutely fantastic creation of yours! This is going to be my last comment until Tuesday. I just couldn't resist! You didn't have to give me yet another dedication, I'm so honored by this! One of my favorite artists photographed by one of my favorite photographers! Superb composition and colors, goes without saying into my favorites! It looks like jelly fish and underwater plant forms, the transparency and the hues are incredible. And the way you selected them, cropped them and arranged them, they look like a book cover for Chihuly! Also, they look like a lightbox, these would be fantastic on a transparency, blown up, mounted and backlit. Would make a great lighting art object on a wall! About 3ft x 3ft, would do! Super! Amazing! And thank you!!! I love it! Ina
