Week 89 "Hearts"

As I watched a Youtube video this morning, and as it was quite long, I became distracted at one point by the sun coming in the east window of the living room. It was picking out a glass coaster on the marble top of the coffee table and reflecting the new leaves on the cherry tree outside the window. I paused the video and reached for the camera to try to capture the refections in the heart shape etched into the glass coaster, but it was impossible to get the camera to see what my eye was seeing. I gave up and finished watching the video, but the coaster played on my mind while I watched. I rearranged three coasters to catch the light and used a torch to add some extra light into the side of the stack. My intention was to convert it to B&W, but as I liked the colour version much more, when edited the image I decided not to convert it. I have added some saturation in NIK and applied a square crop, then added a levels layer to increase the colours. I like the translucency of the glass making the colours change as the glass layers altered the opacity of the stack. 

B&W was stymied this morning! A change is as good as a holiday, so they say.
