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. <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=14884>
