I had lots of help from my wife on this photo. It's her hand in the photo, and she helped me come up with the idea. I was originally going to take a picture with needles sticking out of chocolates, and she came up with the poison idea. She also helped me brainstorm the title.
I built a light tent for this challenge. I will post a picture of the setup after the challenge. Used two flashes fired via PC cords on either side of the tent. The green liquid is Creme de Menthe alcohol.
Post-processing included 0.5 degree CCW rotate, slight crop, auto levels, resize, unsharp mask, then canvas resize twice to create the border.
