Hey, this is really excellent. There's a lot of beautiful stuff in your gallery but I picked this one out because I have something to point out...
Yes, it's a great shot... the lining up of the glass with the background behind it is a special touch that really brings it all out. (I could write a paragraph just on all the cleverness of THAT...) And the golden fluid has a wonderful body to it.
But what really makes this special (and quite a bit more unusual than so many of these other style photos) is exactly that there IS the extra liquid lining the inside of the glass. It really adds to a) the shape of the glass, b) the heavy almost-molten body of the liquid, and c) the quality of a moment in time, rather than a eternity in time... I.e., that liquid makes it MUCH less of a "still..."
Those reflections in the glass are pretty sweet too, esp. on the right. This ends up being a really nice treatment of a relatively heavily-mined subject.
