Wow ! I didn't expect to get 4th place with this. I mean the tape is visible :)
I'll add more details later on how I took it and a behind the scenes photo of the shot.
Thanks for all the comments and looking :)
Below is the jpeg that came out of the camera. I adjusted the curves a bit to lighten the image to make the left tape less visible. Two desk lamps on the left, I'm not sure if they made any difference actually and SB800 pointing towards the paper behind the bottle.
You can see some of the flash is wasted on the right side, I should've pointed it bit more to the left, that could make the left tape invisible as well, but the water everywhere and the tape sticking to everything was starting to get on my nerves :)
Taken with the remote on 2 sec. timer, so I pressed the remote, grabbed the tapes, started pouring and I had some water in the glass by the time shutter fired.
I liked the effect of the tilt but the main reason behind the tilt was that less of the left tape would be in the frame, as I couldn't clone it out.
Thanks everyone!

great effect- (high score) ;) i puzzle over what that is at the neck of the botle and am guessing its part of how you did this image? :) great idea :) I like the blue-bottle and white glass/background- it seems so illuminated and rather mystical in a way :) great job! :)
Love the way you controlled the light here. Really nice work. I'm sire you would have taken care of the tape is this weren't a basic editing challenge, so I'm not counting off for it.
I bet you wish you could do spot editing on the tape that shows on the neck of the bottle. :D I really like this photograph though, the cropping and lighting look excellent. and i really like the color of the bottle, and how it is highlighted by the white of everything else. Good concept.
Nice job concealing the suspension. Particularly impressive given the basic editing limitations! You must have been very patient getting this set up just right. Congratulations.
