This is a glass dish with water and dish soap. I put last month's copy of PhotoPro under the dish which adds the color textures. Macro flash to the left. This was actually a test shot, but turned out far better than anything I shot afterwards. There's some color banding, but it doesn't bug me too much, so hopefully it won't bug everyone else either. It kind of adds to the softness and makes it look like silk, I think.

What is that? Mercury? I like the way the white background fades into the blue and looks like it has undulations in it. Would like a little greater DOF on the silver part and perhaps a little sharper focus so I could make out what it was.
