 Taken in my gameroom with the Jack backed against my humidor. Reflecting off the humidor and the large bottle is the flag hanging in the window.

Some quick Level adjustments, some toying with Hue/Saturation and finished with a little Unsharpen Mask all to give it a "painted" look.

The colors in this photo are extremely distorted. Also, I would not have cut the bottom of the bottles off, we should be able to see teh whole object to make it feel complete.

This looks like it has been oversaturated, a nice idea, it could have been better executed though.

cropping on the larger bottle is a bit tight on the bottom; flag in the background adds color

The artifacts from the Hue/Saturation mods are really unpleasant. The function "selective color" under selection offers a "softness' control, but unfortunately, it's against the rules to use it. All things considered, the shot would have worked better if you used a worklamp to shine through the flag (creating a stronger effect on the actual image) rather than trying to bring it up in photoshop.
