 | For those wondering, this is some automated laboratory reactor equipment we use at my work. 
 Editing Steps:
 1.  Global adjustments in LR2 - Exposure, fill, blacks, clarity.
 2.  Exported copy as Jpeg
 3.  Topaz Adjust on base layer- "dramatic" with minor tweaks on sliders to reduce effect
 4. Curves, Levels, Vibrance, Selective color, Hue Saturation

 7. Crop, resize, sharpen, save for web
 8. Minor sharpen, noise reduction post resize.
 
 Thanks for the comments (especially Ken's) during voting.  I forgot how hard it can be to take a decent 'close up' shot indoors using a P&S camera.
