January Title - "Carnival Glass"

How I did it -

As a rule, I dislike the Find Edges and Poster Edges filters because they leave blackish artifacts on the
image and dirty it up.  So I experimented down the list of filters to apply to my glassware, and came up with the Stained Glass filter, set to 22-4-3, foreground color white, and blending mode to Pin Light.  I am fascinated with the little specular highlights it formed to brighten and give the bowl more sparkle.

Carole Kropscot	The sparkling effect totally brings out the point of the picture. The feeling is light and airy and almost fantasy-like.  It reminds me of glassware I've seen lit up in a museum or specialty store, where the emphasis is on the sparkly effect produced by the cut glass.
Jenny Gu	Beautiful glassware with sparkling! The pink glass fits nicely with white background. The frame fits very well with the photo. I like the frame showed 3D feature. It is an elegant piece of art.
Ulrike Henn	The Stained Glass filter in my opinion is an excellent choice to amplify the cutting of the crystal bowl. The pink frame gives a real nice finishing touch.
Walter Ross	Some of the edge finding filters, I think would have added to the total presentation. I really like the border and the color you chose. I really like the title in the border.
Barbara Kuebler	It is interesting to see how different filters affect the same subject, and how much brighter the altered glasses are. You did a good job.
