Thanks to everyone who voted and commented. I pulled this one out at the last second, literally. I started the shoot at 11:45pm!! wish i could have polished my composition a bit more, but still happy. it is a PB for me (place and score)!!

To make the effect, i traced the bottle in complete darkness with a metallic sparkler.

a very nice shot! would personally get rid of the stray hairs and try a more diffused flash. well above average!

really great pic! the highlight on her right shoulder is a bit distracting, but an excellent composition.
