 Set up was pretty simple.

Used 2 regular lamps. One alone, one with pink paper in front and then my camera flash with blue paper in front.

2 shot glasses on yellow paper wrapped in celophane to give a reflective surface (accounts for the odd blues on te bottom).

Don't expect this to do too well but I've been liking the abstracts recently.

I don't know how well the title will go over either. I thought of it because as I was looking at the large version it was somewhat hypnotizing me with the vignette drawing my eyes to the center with all the bright colors. They are shot glasses so I modified the spelling to the liqueur name which has a similar blue color.


And I'm also questioning the border... lol. They don't go over too well on here but I felt overall it brought photo together. The black blended in too much with the vignetting so I added the red.

USM, Neatimage, bumped up sat and contrast, levels, curves, border.
