This is a fabulous shot. I would really be interested in knowing several things:

What is the lighting setup?
how is the heck did you get that smoke to do that!

Fun use of 'smoke'. I like the colors but I wonder if there could have been a better angle for the lighting to prevent some of the distracting reflections (particularly the box reflecting right where the smoke is pouring down). The composition works very well. Congratulations, I'm betting you'll do well. 8

Whats that? Liquid Nitrogen? could have used this in the Periodic Table...

Very Creative. Excellent shot.

It's great that none spilled over (and so is the image)!

I think the only way of lighting glasses is from behind. With a black background it means cutting out the background or covering the light source to match the glass shape! Not anything I'm going to do very soon, but it would almost certainly would have won you a ribbon! (IMveryHO)

really like the colors and the swirls...

Would like it even better if the glasses were at right angles, but very creative and great shot!

I was thinking along these lines for the 'Blue' challenge. Now I'll have to think of something else! Good luck :)

Great creative idea. Really like the blue smoke. Would have been nice if the rectangular reflections in the glasses could have been eliminated. Still an awesome photo IMHO. 9 :)

Everything SUPER ;) But i don't like lighting... There are visible reflections on glass.

Anyway super.... i was trying to make similar shoot ;) But it was for me to difficult control smokes ;)
