Martini Splash

This is the kind of work I do to pay for my camera. It's a commercial shot of glassware handpainted by local artist Patti Overgaard. This cool martini glass is one of her bestsellers. I wanted to make it look dynamic by adding a splash of liquid to it.

Tech notes:
I took one photo in Canon RAW format and processed it three different ways. I overexposed one to get the color for the olives. I exposed one normally for the glass outline. I underexposed and shifted the color temperture to pull details out of the liquid splash. I sandwiched the three together in Photoshop and voila!
