Bought a nice textured champagne flute at the thrift store and a quart of buttermilk, which I figured would pour more slowly.
I left what would usually be a distracting plant in the background as a symbol of upward growth/life ... I figured the relative sizes and limited DOF would reduce its distractive aspects.
I like how the textured glass makes for "twists and turns" in the stream of milk -- the path towards filling the cup is not without obstacles.

Resized original:
PS: I wanted to clone out the blurry remnants of plant stem parallel to the right edge of the glass (looks like a distracting shadow or blurred edge), but with a recent DQ I'm not taking any chances on a difference of opinion about what constitutes a "minor distraction" ... :-(
