Lighting setup: Diffuser (white matte plastic) behind glasses. 2 gelled flashes (green & orange) firing into the diffuser. The brighter area in the upper left is caused by the gel not sitting properly on the flash and letting out some white light

This is extremely well-crafted and the palette is gorgeous. I keep finding myself wishing the base of the foreground glass was slightly ABOVE the rims of the BG glasses: something about the perfect tangency bugs me. It's a niggle. Beautiful lighting. Congrats on the ribbon.
Perfection in lighting and symmetry. An obvious entry naturally and that's what does well, but it's no accident to do it this well.
