Thanks very much for your kind comments Traveller and Michael. I have always admired this artist's work, since I first saw it in Philadelphia 7-8 years ago. I was surprised to see one of his pieces hanging at this site when I arrived. They were closing 12 minutes after we walked through the door for a members only evening to celebrate the renovation and additions recently made to the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. This piece was part of that renovation, and I managed to make a few images before we had to leave. It occurred to me that while it isn't actually moving, it certainly gives the observer the feeling of movement, so I thought I would see if it would pass muster here in eligible.

Interesting way of creating the appearance of movement from a static subject. Regards, Michael

I love the Yellow, almost alive, forceful motion. Excellent capture. I have always liked Dale Chihuly, and you have done him honor in this representation of his work.

Best Wishes, Traveller
