Very creative shot Sir, liking this one very much, and good of you to show a pull back.

Nice, love the vivid pink against the black background and there's lots of interest in the shapes around the bottle.

Thanks for the pull back shot as well but I might be being a bit slow but I'm unsure how you have achieved this. Is the bottle in a tank of water? How did you get the nail varnish all around the bottle but not end up with it if front?

Thanks

Yes, it's in a tank of water, suspended in place. The liquid gets squirted from behind and it's shot quickly before it gets to the front of the bottle.
