F2.8, 1/2 sec.
The 1/2" opening of this small sphere reveals the far side of the glass canes' spiral form.
(For those who've asked me, the piece was made by Michael Schunke of Nine Iron Studios, West Grove, PA.)

Beautiful and interesting image, Christopher!:) #347361Chris Budny November 20, 2005
Thanks, Jim! I like your "Yellow Light" under Autos; this yellow vase is a tad brighter yellow than I managed to capture--more like that car you shot!Brian Lobdell November 20, 2005
Christopher, your perspective and cropping really make this distinctive! Another great composition. Congrats! #2100108Pat Gamwell November 20, 2005
This is spectacular, Christopher! Resembles an electric fan in motion. Colors are perfect. GREAT JOB! #2100110Chris Budny November 21, 2005
Thanks, Brian & Pat! When the weather isn't perfect, I find myself looking around the house for macro possibilities... But I still have challenges shoot my glass pieces! #2101673Pat Gamwell December 20, 2005
CONGRATS on this wonderful finalist, my friend! GOOD JOB! #2202234Chris Budny December 20, 2005
Thank you so much, Pat! I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised, nor happier, to get a nod from the judges! #2202685Nobu Nagase December 20, 2005

Christopher! Big congratulations on your first finalist medallion! Loved this image the first time I saw it! (I must tell you, I can't believe the judges passed on "Light Lives Here"...!Chris Budny December 20, 2005
Thank you so much, Dianna & Brian! I had my fingers crossed on 'Light Live Here.' I will likely re-enter it. It certainly has generated the greatest buzz (no pun intended) in my gallery! #2207322Sherry Stricklin Boles December 20, 2005
Congratulations on your finalist, Christopher! #2207606Stanley J. Contrades December 21, 2005
Well done, Christopher, and CONGRATULATIONS on your Finalist! Best of luck to you in the next round!!Katrina McMeans December 21, 2005
The lines and curves are beautiful, Christopher! Great composition! Congrats and good luck!Jeffrey Smith December 28, 2005
Nice Shot Christopher. Congrats on your well deserved Finalist award.Chris Budny December 28, 2005
Thank you Stan, Katrina and Jeffrey. I'm still thrilled to have made Finalist on this one; now the challenge is to pull off another one! #2230829Chris Budny December 28, 2005
(oops! And Sherry too!) #2230848Kay Beausoleil January 21, 2006
This is your first finalist?! Or these, rather -- what a good month you've had. Congratulations on your multiple finalists, Christopher -- I'm sure we'll see you often on the finalist/winner pages! #2318458Chris Budny January 21, 2006
Thanks, Kay! This one was my first Finalist ever--won in the Nov. contest. Dec's contest produced 2 more (much to my delight and surprise)--"Capital Idea" and "Keeping Track." Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll keep working on it; however, I know it is quite a leap, to graduate from Finalist to Second Place (or higher)! #2318505Pat Gamwell January 22, 2006
This award was a "no-brainer"...you deserved this hands down, my friend! CONGRATS ON BOTH! #2320741Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
