I bet there will be a lot of flaming shot glasses in this challenge.

OK, so not that many, only 3 including mine, but one of them has the same title as mine.
Coloured water in each glass, lighter fluid floating on top that was lit. I really wish I knew how to get pictures of glass against black with no reflections. I've tried positioning the light source tons of different ways but I just can't get it right.

Great shot, Karen. Love the colors and especially the flames. Super work (I must try photographing glass against a black background, it sounds like interesting stuff).
i'm not sure if this is the case or not, but it makes sense in my head:
for black/black without light reflections, you could use a piece of glass/acrylic that is lit from below. If you have a black card as your background it should reflect and create the black/black look, with intense color inside the glasses, and just a bit of a hairlight.
interesting flame/glow. The fire on the right looks like a hand/wrist/fingers.
I think the specular highlight on the front of the glasses is a bit of a distraction and doesn't show the color off well. Also wish the hairlight was a bit more even between the background/foreground plane.
