 Using the light set from my push bike to illuminate a glass ornament I found, I got this image (along with quite a few other abstract shots from the session). I used a macro lens and tripod set up to get the angle and POV.

The white light (bike head light) was used to make the ornament glow (focusing the beam through the object) and the red light (tail light) was aimed away from the object for the background and fill lighting.

There was not much post processing undertaken as I tried to take the time to frame the shot in camera from the beginning. I did increase the colour saturation, colour balance, and spot healed some over exposed areas. The image was rotated 90 CCW from the original composition and was done completely by accident (I clicked on the wrong menu option). I liked how it looked so kept it as is.

I like this one: the colors, the lines, the light, the curves. Looks like a space ship.
