 Shot at a glass-blowing demonstration at St Helens Glass Museum. Rather dark so shooting was tough but I like the glow of the glory-hole in the background against the glowing hot glass.

Tweaked levels to bring out the glow against a black background, flipped and cropped then a good dose of neat image and USM.

Composition is great. Maybe a longer DOF would get the details in the background.

Nice capture. Zooming in a bit more would have helped emphasize the molten glass. Now that large white spot competes with the glass for attention.
