Didn't have a clue what to do for this challenge. Ended up using champagne glasses with twirly stems. I taped them to tumblers to get the sort of hovering in mid-air look. I chose this one because it was the only one that had a dynamic-ish look. The colours in the background are from my trusty printed out transparent sheets.
Don't have high hopes for this.... it's probably too obviously "triangle".
Post challenge;
THANKS FOR THE RIBBON, YOU GUYS!!!
And thanks for the great comments and score. I was sure this would tank because it started around 5.2 after 10 votes or so, but after a couple of days it had picked up to a 7…. WOW!
Sorry the glasses aren’t touching, they were darn well supposed to ;-) I did so many shots and the glasses kept slipping slightly from under the tape. In some frames they touched and in some not. Unfortunately, the ones in which were touching weren’t as good as the one I entered, so I took my chance with it.
Here’s an outtake of where they were touching (more or less ;-)
I liked the colours but the glass stems look so static.
Oh Wow! What a GREAT start to the day!!!

OK Irene, this is ridiculous! I just went on your profile page and it took waaay too long to scroll down. All those damn ribbons on the side! you might need a second page soon. On a roll. Keep it up!
We need to change the name of the website from dpchallenge to IreneMChallenge - how do we compete with this girl? Irene, you are amazing. Congratulations on your 17th ribon for 2008! Irene, can you go on a 3 month holiday and leave your camera at home? Just kidding! Keep on winning and inspiring all of us
LOL! Enzo, I promise you my current entry is nowhere and I mean really nowhere near ribbon territory.
Edit to add: Thanks so much for the comments. This is a great site with great people.

Ok, you have the DPC voters wrapped around your finger now. Geez, last six challenges and you have 2 blues, 2 reds and a yellow! Your shots are right on the mark lately, not that they have not always been pretty darn good. Congratulation!
Way to go Irene and you are on a roll this year with your amazing images and talent..... This was my pick for a ribbon winner, and a BLUE at that and it is just..... I gave this a 10..........
Simply beautiful, but technically not a triangle but rather an angle unless the glasses themselves are triangles. Colors and composition are wonderful so, still a 10 to me :)
Very nice. The only thing I would have preferred is to see the blue extend all the way to the lower left corner as I find the white stripe a bit distracting. (I think you could have also cropped it out without degrading the image.)
Love the pastel background, wonderful implied traingle as well. A bit jagged around the edges as well as a bit of haloing but nothing major. 9 from me.
Balancing act
