January Title - "Creative Bottle"

How I did it -

I took this image in a black light setup. I increased contrast and sharpness.

I used filter /artistic / poster edges. I used edge thickness of 1, edge intensity of 3, posterization of 3. I increased the saturation and added a green border.

The black light bulbs were BLB.

Carole Kropscot I admire your black light set-up. Black light photography produces such create colors. I think Poster Edges was a good choice to further enhance the "look" of your creative bottle. I think I might have chosen a more dominant color from the image for the wide now green border.

It is really a creative bottle. The cuts of the glass showed clearly with their patterns and lights. The saturated colors are very strong especially surround with green board. I may remove the little extra part at the bottom, (reflection?).

Ruth Rittichier That's a blindingly colorful image!   The brilliant
color saturation does a good job of concealing the blackish artifacts one gets when using this filter.  I'd like to see the original black light image.  I bet it is beautiful.
Barbara Kuebler You really have colors here that pop! Black light is fun to play with. You have good detail in the glass patterns. I think the green color is too strong, so I would suggest a thin stroke instead of the wider border.
