 It's a Martini glass with a non-alcoholic drink poured inside. The drink/glass was frozen for a short period of time while the orange peel was wrapped up and stuck in the refrigerator. It was fun to shoot. All natural light, including window light coming from the right.

Actually, there was one lamp lighting the back area due to the distance but that's it...

Pretty self-explanatory. I wanted to name this after a James Bond movie, so hopefully changing the title a bit is alright...

Post Processing wasn't too much.

Very mild boost in color/saturation (Selective Color/Saturation) and just some contrast.

Added a 3 pixel border just for kicks ;)

Thanks.

IS that even the name of a movie? I googled it and didn't find anything.

The window in the back takes away from the orange in the glass. Also, if you are going to have a table in the shot it might have been better to have it be squared instead of slightly offset. Just some recommendations, not sure if others would agree�

I did a search and could find no movie with this title. I assume it's a play on words for Man with a Golden Gun, so it's DNMC. It's a technically nice photo, good color and I love the background.
