Damn sensor dust!

Simple setup really. Just a plain old martini glass with a bit of Vodka for good luck :) I'm not sure how the voters would view and score this image but I am just hoping to continue meeting my goal of 6+ in challenges.

----------------------------------

Wooohooo! I'm on a roll baby! Sheesh I am just simply staggered by the luck I've been having lately.

"Check the basement for pods" as BrennanOB said in a prior post.

Seriously, thanks everyone. I just always wanted to break 6 in all my challenges but a ribbon, a Blue nonetheless, is extremely exciting ;)

No trolls (or 17 of them)! Great image I can't understand how somebody can vote such a picture less then 4. I can't understand.

Well done, my friend.

Congratulations, amazing picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 02:18:18 AM
exquisite shot! congratulations!

Enquiring minds do want to know, though, to borrow the phrasing of a previous poster: "what are the orbs?"

???? I must know! :-)

Again, congrats. A very worthy image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 02:12:38 AM
Way to go Rikki, this one was among my favourites! Are you going for the 50 ribbons instead of 5 this year? ;-) I am very curious how you did the fractal-like lemon drops, if you could write a short description, I would be very thankful. Pretty please.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 01:57:31 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 01:06:35 AM
blue in blue and well deserved. but share some ribbons with the rest of the class, geez... :) ps. maybe you should think about setting your goal for 7+ on all entries. 6 is obviously too easy for you. I haven't had a 7 in a long time. Those were the good ol' days. :)

Whatever these yellow stuff are, remind me to some kind of fractal. Nice use of complementary colours, and lighting is spot on.
