My very first idea did not work - tried several attempts but little success. I love the idea so I am determined to get it right so it's on the shelf for a another time.

It's not as easy as I thought to do refractions. Since I am a perfectionist I was up til after midnight trying to get the dots on the glass aligned perfectly and the bottle lined up with the line between the blue and the pink (wish I had red but you use what you have).

Never again - I am a zombie this morning and would have rather gotten my sleep.

Problem is with 'getting things perfect' is that sometimes things are not perfect. The back dots were not perfectly aligned with the ones in the front. So this was the best I could do.

The background is some poster paper layered on a board with thin, black tape to outline the edges.

Great setup shot. Interesting bottle and glass and base mirror and abstract background colors. Should be a ribbon contender. 9
