 Well this is by far the fastest I've ever submitted a picture. My submission for the recipe challenge was shot the night before and submitted at 11:58 so shooting this on the first day and submitting it on the first day is quite an improvement for my procrastination... This was actually a pretty easy shot, I took a wine glass filled with ice water and put a few drops of blue and green food coloring and lit it with a hand held table lamp. My wife always picks at my thrown together "studio" set ups but hey we have a tiny house and these work! I achieved the macro using a Kenko extension tube and took about 10 shots and was really drawn to this one because of how the ice looked. Hope it does better than my last few entries which all got around 5.3...

Thank you for this image. I believe it hit the spot. I can almost feel the cold glass and wipe the droplets off my screen.
