I tried to do this the old fashioned way. I set up three flash units. Two lights positioned from behind and above the strainer(to light up the filtered water) and another flash with a snoot in front and to the left lighting the strainer.One light in the back had a snoot with a yellow and green filter taped together on the end of the snoot and the other had a red and blue filter. About 30 tries and a lot of mopping up later I got a result that I wasn't happy with so I resorted to selections and Hue/Saruration method and this is the result.
Also did some levels and USM.
Thanks everyone for the comments.
Coley yes I am hooked. I was watching this all week and at one point it reached 6.75 and I thought just maybe I might ribbon. But I am glad it didn't. The pics that did ribbon are well deserved.
Some thought I cropped this too tight. I had to crop it the way I did because the strainer was being held up by a tripod and the leg of the tripod crept into the image more than I would of liked so hence the crop.

This is so dam clever, and quite a set up thats for sure. So worth it, to get this stunning image.
I love the rainbow of colors, and I have nothing negative about this one.....
Yeah Leo!
Congrats on the top ten "Star" shot. This is a very cool image, I'm glad it did well. If you were not hooked before, I bet you are now.
Congrats again
i really want to like this, but i so want the image to have room on the sides to breathe. your border constrains an overly narrow image even more. clever idea.
OK well have no idea how you created this effect, but I do know that the outcome is stunning, possibly could have done with being a fraction lighter but still wonderful
