The tricky part here was focusing: because of the 'hair' the autofocus was wrong all the time. I also had to fiddle a bit with the white balance to get the color right. Postprocessing was some selective color adjustement to bring out the pink more, and to increase saturation of the 'gold' flute.

Aaee! Scary. Focus on this is excellent, though, and I like the lighting though it is a tad harsh in spots... it seems to work for the super-close photo. Still scary though. Good job nonetheless :)
