The set up of this is fairly simple, there is a flash light under a wet wine glass with a translucent cord wrapped around it. It started with just the flashlight and wine glass but i guess i just kept going till this happened.
Post processing - crop, dodge/burn, curves, neat image, usm, Dave's midnight sepia action, Kent Christiensen's lensbaby action.

I think had you not hinted to the subject in your title I might have had a really difficult time trying to figure out exactly what this was. It is really neat looking and definately draws my attention and holds it.
Lighting works very well here. I love how it kind of sprays out from the bottom of the glass upward. I would love to know if the lighting was dodge/burned this way, or if it was naturally that way.
I personally love the negative space. I see you got a couple comments saying that it was not a good thing to have that much neg space, but I really like it that way.
The dark background works really well. I like the blue tones of the subject.
The water droplets are a nice touch, and had I not read in your comments that the circular thing at the bottom was the cord, I would not have knows, but it looks really neat anyway.
Focus is awesome. Really nice details in the glass and water.
I think this is a really great image that, in my opinion, doesn't need improvement. Congrats on a great image.
