Trying out new editing program Corel Paintshop along with a glass of Merlot which produced this image. Maybe it was two glasses.

Oh my.... that is stunning, Bob. Very dramatic lighting. That's a money shot, for sure and for certain.

Looks like you're having fun with the spot lighting tool. Corel is fairly powerful software, but I've never been a fan of the interface for PSP (at least the 2 or 3 versions I tested out in the past). I do like the image, the detail is very crisp and you definitely got some good effect with the lighting, almost a special form of artistic vignetting.

That glass or two of Merlot has talent in PP. Then the hand holding the Merlot had a hand in it too.

Outstanding ! Continue with that combination, although too much Merlot may effect the overall editing but you got the right combo on this one. Wow.

thanks so much for the kind review. I usually don't mess with editing like this, too much time spent on one photo.
