Description After I took this photo I completely modified it changing colors, lighting and gradients. I'm pretty happy with the result as the original photo was nothing special.

This is a great picture, the colours really make it amazing so I guess you get all the credit for that! Did you actually take the photo yourself or just edit it? Either way you did a great job. Do you have the original photo? It'd be cool to see the difference.

Wow, interesting photo here... Did you cut the glass yourself? Love the editing to the color. o: At first, I thought it was a lamp, a really...awesome, odd lamp. Then I found out it was glass, which makes it twice as epic.

Nice job. +Fav for you~

No, unfortunately I did not create this wonderful abstract. But the original photo was nothing short of boring so I'm proud to call this shot my own. Glad you enjoy the editing and thanks!

Photoshop CS. Selectively using contrast goes a long way

Took your advice and swapped the categories, maybe I'll get some more views on it now It's a special piece at the corning glass museum.

I don't even know what that is... but it's nice!
The colour and light is really warm, and if you changed them, no one will notice!
What colour did it have from the start?

You're right, it was very different at the beginning. Originally it was a very bland gray on a very dry light colored wood. I removed the background to help isolate (I do that a lot ) warmed up the wood and made the ice golden Again, one of the ones I am proud of because I turned it from nothing special. Glad you enjoyed it
