 Wine glass sitting on a frosted glass table, lit from underneath by a small pen size flashlight pressed against the table base. The glass was half full (or half empty depending on your perspective) with water.

The shot was taken with the lens resting on and sitting inside the glass - they made a perfect fit.

The title makes me smile. The picture is nice, maybe a bit too centralized/symmetric.

what is that?
Anyway, it looks very cool,
Perhaps a cropping including only whole "circles" would be be better? I am not sure.
overall a very interesting picture
