I had the opportunity to sit in on a session with Japan's Hiroshi Yamano in the HotShop at Tacoma's Museum of Glass. Quite the experience. This is one of a series of great shots... I'll post some others in my portfolio after the challenge.

I love the blues and yellows of the blowtorch flames, and the reflections on the glass. And the whole orange ambience of the shot creates a sense of a hot, stuffy, industrial kind of scene. The understated presence of the tools over on the right hand side enhance this feeling.
I can't help wondering, though, if the finished product is intended to contain a liquid... :-)
this is a nice photo from the action itself. I think it's hard to take a photo with these tough light-situations, but you did a good job. bumping to 7 :)
