I changed my submission just before the deadline. The other submission had an additional fill flash for the front of the subject.
Main light is a speedlite aimed through the blue fluid at the lens. Some of it peaks out from the lower right of the glass. The speedlite was poking through a backdrop made of sheet of paper. A slave flash was used to over expose the back drop. Some fill light was achieved using another paper as a reflector.

I entered this shot first and then decided that it would be too bright and offer too much detail to meet the challenge. I chose to enter this shot that had no front lighting at all. I think I chose the wrong image.
