About This glass leaf was one of many suspended from the ceiling at the Bellagio in Vegas. It was probably a good 6-7 feet across.

Hi Lydia,
I must confess that I did little playing around on this...I selected the leaf and then lightened the background considerably. It was a little busy and I wanted the leaf to really stand out.
Thanks for the comment...I appreciate it!

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a leaf on the ground laying on a sundial. This is even better than expected. Great colors and fantastic angle.

Susie OConnor Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 10/27/2005
Yes Kes, I cut the leaf out and then lightened the b/g so as to make the leaf stand out more. I thought the b/g was just a tad busy. Thanks for asking and commenting!

Douglas,in reply to your latest bashing,YOU are the last person to be telling ME or anyone else on UF what to say or do!
YOU have been nothing short of rude and abusive and have already been reported by others...stalking my every comment with more rudeness is beyond comprehension and simply will not be tolerated....Mahalo!

Thanks Sam, and i read some of the caustic crappola that was thrown your way from him...some people just aren't happy unless they are wrecking havoc for others.....regards,gayle

Looking at the leaf in the background, I assume there is PS work here?

Hi Susie,
If I didn't read the about, I would have assumed that this leaf was only a few inches and a macro of some sort of fine glass.

Very colourful. Until I clicked on the icon I thought it was the real thing. I have never seen this type of display before and I imagine to see it in person would be cool. All I can say is that I am glad it wasn't windy there and the leaves start falling down.

You need to apologise to her for using her shot to bash yet another Memberof UF.

Hi Susie,

Let me start this off with WOW! I Really like this shot. You have all the bases covered in this shot.
I remember seeing this the last timeI was in Vegas. I really like walking around the Bellagio, My favorite spot in there was the walkthrough garden with the Water shooting over. I wish I gotten a picture of that when I had the chance.
Way to go and keep these fantastic images coming!
Best Regards

Sam III

Hi Susie, What an image! I thought from the thumbnail that it was an actual (small) leaf, not a monumental one! Gorgeous! The exposure is perfect, the lighting is soft and the glass quality is rendered beautifully. Now what I found also extraordinary: the ceiling! I love the fabulous trompe l'oeil of branches and fretwork on the ceiling, giving this leaf the appearance of floating in the air, as if just falling from a branch. The background is essential, and combined with the leaf image produce the fine art look, and you did a superb job at capturing this work of art within its architectural environment! 7/7 Ina

Douglas, quite frankly i don't give a rat's patootie if you know the freakin' Queen of England! ART, as any truly sane person knows,is completely subjective...and get a freakin' clue per your pompous statement,
"this is not a Site of family practice but Professional endeavor!" ~ Douglas Coffey

This is a global community photo site for amateurs to learn,share work,and enjoy the friendships that are a fringe benefit above all others (IMHO) with such a site.

"Professional endeavor?"....check out many of your own comments to others and tell me what part of them is in any way part of what you call a "Professional endeavor". Puleeeeeeeeeeze,get a freakin' grip before you miss what is truly important in life....Boy,did you reply to the WRONG person on the wrong night! ...LMAO

Dear Gayle,

NO APOLOGY WHATSOEVER will be granted to you or anyone because true art will be revealed in it's eternal essence or would you like to provide an apology instead to hundreds of 'Real Artists' per the 'Highest Rated Image Pages' whom I know so well and will contact which you nor the Author of this Image Page have never reviewed after extensive scanning of both of ALL your comments combined if you really want to learn what TRUE PHOTOGRAPHIC ART is!

Best of Regards and may the 'Ghosts' of the Best watch over you!

Douglas, oops! forgot about the 'demand' attention part of your comment...are you serious?
Since when did a humorous 'inquiry' of whether staff was reading my comment become anything close to a so-called 'demand'?....i think an apology would be most appropriate for writing your inane comment on her image page....sheesh!

Excuse me? Douglas,then why did AL the admin start the original thread in donor forum to request that we members nominate other's images for potential recognition?.....BTW,i am not a "family member" to Susie,her sister and only know her via UF...LOL..so what up with your tude?

No one should petition for recognition on the behalf of another nor should they 'demand' the attention of others to award tribute ...

Furthermore, ... this is not a Site of family practice but Professional endeavor!

WOW!!! This is an amazing image. So fluid like. I remember seeing coloured flowers but I don't remember seeing such leaves on the ceiling. Maybe they've changed their theme since I was there. A truly awesome image Susie. Beautifully captured under difficult lighting conditions. That much I do remember. Cheers - Ann :)
