Fascinating. I thought it was something photoshopped at first but it's something real. I think.

I don't have photoshop - it's on my list, Leonardo.
All credit is due the amazing glassblowers - Seegers& Fein.

No way this deserves to be #179 (or last)! Let's get this puppy up to the top where it belongs!

Thanks to you both! Leonardo, B.'s rules for his "179th shot" said that your last favorite shot was o.k.! And, M.Herrero, I love the shot of your darling child by the window! It's a favorite.

Nice to get a comment from you, roddh. Thanks! Love your photography, particularly the frosted window shot, & enjoyed looking at your gallery. I'm new to this, and couldn't really go wrong with that glass piece!

roddh says:

Because of the tight crop, there is a real ambiguity in this image that I like a lot. It creates a strong impression of looking down into water. The blue 'smoke' element reminds me of computer graphic art called "flame" fractals (programs like "Apophysis" and KPT)
When I first saw your thumbnail I thought this was CG. Consider www.flickr.com/photos/emrys0821/80331327/ for example.
(and thank you for the compliment)
