Thanks for the suggestions, Moose. That sounds like a good indoor,
afternoon project to pursue when the weather gets colder.
My late wife collected a bunch of colored "sun catchers", which she had
me hang by small monofilament lines on the kitchen window, facing
south. They provide a lot of colors as the light changes.

Hi Ken,
I guess we each have our own preferences. I tried all of the filter
options and the brightness and contrast sliders, and settled on this
combination. Afterwards, I noticed the halos around the table top
and parts of the vase. To me, they are just parts of the picture,
but, to the purist I'm sure they indicate poor technique.
I'd hate to think I'm a purist, but the halos do bother my eye. Then
again, I miss the color, which "makes" the original for me. There's a
very subtle halo there, too, but it doesn't bother me.
Were the subject and setting mine, I would lower the camera, probably
to the level of the table, so that the vase would be visually sitting
on a dark, unidentifiable base and the background seen through the
glass wouldn't include the table. I'd also watch the light and try
some with the curtains open and an unfocused background.
OK, I guess I'm a purist of sorts, looking for simple shape and color,
with less extraneous, to me, detail. The color original is sort of
'documentary', and I'm looking for 'art'.
I love light through colored things, with color, shape what please me.
I have a constantly changing group of glass objects of various colors
on my kitchen windowsill.
