 ..Though you sure wouldn't want to actually drink it!

A glass full of concentrated laundry detergent with two fluorescent straws coming out of it, hit with a black light.

Hopefully this won't be considered DNMC, considering the black light actually electrically charges the fluorescent material, causing it to EMIT light.. So these fluorescent materials actually are illuminative subjects.

Great finish! Just slipped below the magic 6 at the end...but still a great score and wonderful finish!

Go Snowmen!

Cool and clever (my first thought was "don't drink the kool-aid!).

very nice. I like the use of colors. How did you light the glass?

Very 1980s. All that's missing is a pair of glowing lips coming in from the right.

Nice detail and it looks like you put a lot of effort into the shot.

Incredible colors. I love the fluorescence of the dring, but the bubbles are icky.

is the liquid itself glowing?

I really enjoy the minimalist appeal of this image. The subtle light and color changes are remarkable. One tiny little flaw with the red highlight at the bottom right of the glass, otherwise a wonderful image.
