not another macro shot... It was a pretty fancy grandfather clock so I just snapped this pic. I was surprised to see how much detail showed through the glass as there were some pretty bright lights around it.

Sharpen/Burn Tool

Created a layer mask around the center gold section of the clock. Applied USM ehq 289% to the new layer. I used the burn tool with 2% exposure setting to try and minimize reflections by darkening shadows and midtones. I left blending mode on normal and changed fill opacity to 75%.

I may have slightly oversharpened it's hard to tell on my crappy monitor here at work.
