Just for fun, but any suggestions?
I don't know why, but I'm really attached to this picture I took with my phone a few weeks ago.  This is what I've done with it so far. 

Does anybody have any suggestions of different approaches to take with this?  Right now I haven't figured out a way to make the white in the two ice spots and the solid sun ray not be white.  I think I like it especially because I took it with my phone and it looks so cool.  I know it's crazy, but any ideas?  I've played around with it, but more contrast, less contrast, just make it into photo art?  :)

Barbara, have you tried using C&A, content aware? You should be able to eliminate a lot of the areas using that.

Paul, no, I haven't, and I do know about that, but I forgot about it.  Thanks!

Barbara, looking at this again I like the image as is. The two bolt light stream is a neat affect that splits or splinters out to the two bright spots on the other side of the glass. Heck, I'm sure many would love to capture this anomaly as use in a soda product testimony of sorts.
