I can see why this would be a favorite shot. It is exquisite.
The ballerina must have trusted you completely in your studio to
perform this maneuver.

Congratulations on the Blue in a truly competitive challenge.

Ah, yes. the Palouse. I thought it might be. Magic light and you were there for it.
And, of course, you captured it perfectly.

PS if you wanted to have some fun with this, stash some dry ice (or equivalent) under the bottle, so that the frosty clouds of white give this a misty and mysterious setting.

I think I like what you're going for here, PixelPig, but after you've had fun with the bottle including label, it might be a good idea to lose the label. Compulsive readers (like me) will always stop to read the label thus interfering with our enjoyment of the jewelry.

Then, (suggestion coming) try the full range of DOF numbers to try for a full sharp range of focus. You really want everything to be as sharp as it can be.

You have a super collection going here. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
