 Lit my glass of Scotch with two 250 watt halogen work lamps plus some ambient light in the room. Set scotch on my unusual coffee table and used my book case as a back drop.

Post was just cropping and a little contrast and brightness manipulation.

I probably should have washed the glass a bit better :)

Nice color contrast, but the ice itself is blurry.

should have wiped the rim of the glass to get rid of the drops.

I like how the glass is on a different surface, good focus on the bottom of the cup.

I like the composition and the idea but I feel the background in a bit distracting.
