 This setup was as simple as it gets really. I was inspired by one of yanko's images for this one.

Small mini-flashlight held 3 feet above subject; which isn't really absinthe but lemonade. Played the WB down to 2500K to compensate for the warmer colors here coupled with the yellow tint from the flashlight. That @#*%! fingerprint!

Wonderful combination of lime green and reds. Spotlight from above works well. The central light position in front resulted in good shadow position but also included some distracting glare. Wondering if light from two sides might have decreased that. 7.

Looks like a finger print on the glass. The rocks look soft on focus.
