Thank you so very much for all the kind comments! They are truly appreciated!!

And thank you to the Judge! Here is what I did:
The original was a photo of a brown colored shoe photographed on a white background using studio flash.
Editing and Effects CS2: Selected only the shoe, Hue/Saturation, Photo Filter (Warm Filter) and Levels to get the golden color. A tiny bit of Topaz plug in (Dramatic) and at last Beautifier plug in. The rays on the white background is a brush: Gradient Designs (# 900) from Obsidian Dawn.

Thanks!!
