 To set the shot up:

I took the subject (which is a glass candle holder) and placed it on a white backdrop. I then set the tripod up zoomed in on a section that i found to have the best composition. I then back lite the glass with an LED flashlight (white). The "front" side of the glass was lite with ambient halogen lighting turned down very low. I moved the LED light on the "backside" in small circular movements, i found this motion made the front side of the crystals more visable and also increased the coloring of the glass. In PS I: leveled, slight contrast, slight hue, and cropped. My first entry, so please be very constructive. thanks.
