Made a background in photoshop, and put a groovy lemonade glass my roommate has infront of it. I got some pretty nifty shots. I'm torn between two, and this is, in my gut, the better photo.

An interesting and attractive abstract. The goblet distorts the colored stripes from the background in unusual ways, with nice results. A great idea, but the result is a bit lackluster. I second Philos31's suggestion to increase the saturation, although 47% is too extreme for me; I tried it and settled for 21%. Of course, the nice thing about abstracts is that there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do it! It's all a matter of personal taste. Some other things I would do to make it suit my personal taste are to crop out half of the background and sharpen a little bit.
Looks realy nice, I personaly would have upped the channels more, almost over saturate it to get the message acros..
Edit: Tried it....
Open it up in Photoshop, and up the saturation with 47% look what happens...
