"Soaring high above the breezes, Going always where she pleases. She will make it to the islands in the sun. I will follow in her shadow As I watch her from my window. One day I will catch her eye. " -select lyrics from The Nile Song by Pink Floyd (Waters)
More psychedelic lyrics to go along with these two brilliantly colored Chihuly orbs floating in a pond. The blown glass balls stood out pretty well without the selective coloring, but I thought I'd try a variation on the theme and make these little "islands in the sun" even more prominent. ----- Thanks for your vesicular comments on my last upload, Bubblegum Bauble.

In old Nassau Town at Dirty Dick's on a dance floor sticky with beer-- "Oh, Island in the sun...." for the 155th funky time.
Psychedelicious! Like sunken 'shrooms.
Interesting. It reminds me of the " Ocean Buoy" when we are far out from shore fishing. Aloha
This must have been a beautiful place to visit. Your selective coloring really makes the orbs stand out.
I LOVE the fact that you made the baubles the only colored objects!! Very surreal, not that they weren't surreal to begin with, but you have certainly ehanced the effect!! p.s. the Nile song rocks, as do the others from "Relics".
oh yes, excellent composition of color and &w... Good work my friend!!! Good day and kiss
Wonderful image - almost looks like they were living organisms - most excellent indeed!
Good idea the selective colors for the giant bubbles ! Maybe with more contrast it will be better ? It's a little bit too dark for the white and black part. But always funny and impressive. Have a nice evening.
Love the strong color against the high contrast. Powerful!
fantastic selective coloring and very cool find ... beautifully shot Kort!
Great shot, reminds of that creature in the film "Dark Star".
WOW ! I love this one esp !
Excellent use of selective color mate!!!! and how you've kept the colors in the water too.... PERFECT!!! Thank for sharing. Hope you are having a great week! ;)
Wow...they do look like living organisms.Kind of creepy when seen that way.I can almost imagine them 'breathing'...ew...LOL.The large caladium(sp?) leaves in the background look rather other-worldly,as well.Nice work,Kortalouche and I like the use of selective coloring.Have a great day.-M :^)
