This Chihuly rose, shot on black granite, positively GLOWS, don't you think? No special lighting, either. The only light was from a window. :)

Fantastic...:judge:

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

I love Dale Chiluly. Some of his work is on permanent display at my local botanical gardens. Lovely rose image Gary.

Thanks, guys. If it weren't for the rose, chances are I would have been totally oblivious of him! :)
