I know this has been done many a time, but I really liked the idea so I thought I'd give it a try myself. Used my laptop's monitor and Powerpoint to create the background colors. Then borrowed two glasses from my roommate, filled them with water and put them in front of the monitor on top of a dark blue cloth. Post processing wasn't very intensive at all, just some levels and curves followed by USM. Any comments and suggestions would be more than welcome.

There are a couple of things that would have helped this image. First it would be nice if the blue extended all the way to the bottom of the frame. The glasses could stand to be in sharper focus. And finally, I think the shades of blue are a little to close to one another. It would have made the image much more contrasty with a slightly wider range of the three shades. All that being said, you still did fairly well in the challenge and with a little tweaking this could go from a good image to a great one.
Were you planning on bringing the glasses back? I'm not sure what the stickers are adding. I'd also prefer there were some true whites in the picture somewhere rather than an entirely blue cast. Nicely aligned though.
Very nice but I am wondering why you didn't take the stickers off the glasses....very distracting and really takes away from the simplicity and cleanness of the shot.
