Photograph a bottle and glass with cool water-drops

I saw a demo of how to do this while at Focus On Imaging earlier this month and though I would give it a try. They used studio lighting that was sure to cost an arm and a leg.  I went for the low cost option, Heath Robinson  approach. A glass coffee table, black background, white card and translucent zipdisc from Calumet. Two flashguns, one with a Rogue 3-1 Honeycomb Grid to light up the logos. Finally cleaning up the image and adding some star effects in PhotoShop.

The hard part is getting the lighting right, its not perfect I know. But I'm pleased with what I managed.
Please don't worry, as nothing was wasted.
