Day 158 - Clematis in Glass

Combining my recent interests of flowers and glass, here's a flower in a glass.  Aside from quite liking this shot from an aesthetic point of view, I'm really pleased with the range of tones in the grey that the lighting brings out.  This also gives me another tool in box for effectively photographing glasses of liquid.  Rather than relying on edge definition with a separate colour out of shot, this uses the gradient in the background and its reversal when viewed through water to tell the viewer that there is a liquid there.  Lovely bit of optics for the scientists out there.  Hello Robin.
