Colored Glass

[bblaich]

Photo of colored glass pieces through a clear ceiling. How would you improve this shot? Make the colors really jump out!



1/60 sec, f/4.00, ISO 1000, 18.00 mm Focal length

They are all ready pretty bright. You could, if you wanted them brighter to boost the saturation a tad.
Or, if you wanted them to glow a little you could add two layers change the blend mode to screen on the first layer. On the second layer apply gaussian blur at about 45 strength and then change the blend mode to multiply. Play with the opacity levels till you find something you like. This is otherwise (in case you didnt know) called the Orton effect

Have you considered cropping this down to show only the galss and remove the ceiling behind it?

[bblaich]

Yes, I was going to do some cropping. I have some other shots to play with too. Just thought I'd get some advice before tinkering too much. I'm still relatively new to this... but thanks for you input!
