My photographer friend from france said that he has real problems trying to control highlights given off reflective materials such as metal glass and water. I just did this macro to see if i could get a decent balance. Although this shot is slightly underexposed i like it. All comments welcome, im here to learn and not to brag ... well maybe, but not now :lol:

What your talking about is referred to as a specular highlight. Read this http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/07/lighting-102-unit-22-specular-highlight.html and see if it helps.
