Here is what I did:

I auto-leveled/color corrected it, which removed the slightly "yellowish"
cast. Then, I selected just the glass. I did a hue adjustment on the glass
selection to make it more natural looking. Then I slightly desaturated the
rest of the scene (i.e. scene minus glass) to make the glass stand out more.
Finally, I applied an unsharp-mask to sharpen the entire image ever so
slightly.

What I did not do, but will for the larger scene:

The photon effects need a hue adjustment, as well, to be more inline with
the new hue of the glass. I am wondering if all of this could be made easier
by simply changing the glass color to a shade of blue, but in any case it
did come out looking nice, if I do say so myself :) .
