January Title - "Cut Glass Perfume Bottle"

How I did it -

Jenny Gu	It surprised me that scanner could catch the shape of cut glass perfume bottle so nicely. I like the dark background produced by scanner. Good idea to add reflection, but it looks blurring too much. I like the double frames separating the whole perfume bottle out of busy background.
Ulrike Henn	This is a very unusual, creative approach to this assignment in my opinion. The red and blue framing of the inserted image of the entire flask adds quiet to the busy, glowing lines. This arrangement reminds me of catalogue or display image. Very inspiring!
Ruth Rittichier	That's a lovely bottle - good find.   Your frame around the whole bottle sets it off well from the close-up image. However, my attention is taken by the bright colors of the little frame, especially since there is very little color in the bottle.  Try boosting the saturation on just the bottle only, and desaturating the frame to a charcoal gray color, for emphasis on your subject.
Walter Ross	Great job using filters. There are endless ways of using filters you show a great way. I like the way you designed the image. I really like the multicolored border.
Barbara Kuebler	I think you did a beautiful job with the perfume bottle. The scanner made a good copy. I like the way the glass “glows”. The background is distracting to me. I might have tried to blur it so the colors blend together and the lines disappear.
