First image shot in raw that I have ever submitted. Did adjustments to exposure, saturation, hue, contrast in Image Data Converter by Sony. Saved as jpeg. Opened up in Photo Impact and did fine tuning to levels, tonal mapping, brightness, contrast, sharpness and dodged the mist. Also adjusted rocks with saturation adjustments. Burned in details of pearls and rocks. Spot sharpened rocks and glass ball.

there are too many other things in this photo to only focus on the pearls - the colored rocks under the glass are very pretty, but distracting in my opinion.
