This one was kind of fun. Glass poses many challenges.

I may have gone overboard here trying out curves in L*a*b color.

Thanks, Maureen. You can call me John, though. The "franco" is short for my full last name, Franchot. Screen names can be misleading that way. Mine is an old work logon that has stuck with me. Thanks too, dMDX. Believe it or not, there was no saturation added in ACR or by hues/saturation layers. I did this using a Curves adj. layer in L*A*b color space. This is very powerful stuff. Contrast was acheived through a few passes of gmitchell's TLR scripts.
