Shot in Raw. Placed a black fabric on my car seat and parked the car so a shaft of light was lighting only a portion. Used star filter and manual settings, vivid color. Used seven Swarovski Crystals and scattered them randomly across the fabric. Post processing, adjusted color balance, exposure and sharpness in Image Data Converter SR. Saved as jpeg. Opened in Photo Impact, adjusted brightness, gamma and contrast. Dodged the lit part of the fabric to make the white fleks come out more. Burned in the diamonds and spot sharpened them. Resized and sharpened one final time.

I thought that "Diamonds are Forever" would have been heavily photographed. Goes to show what I know, the martini sure got a lot more hits. I really like the detail and the clarity in this shot. Congrats! You got my highest score. Very well done.
