Glass of lights

Get Pushed Challenge #593
My partner challenged me to play with water in a glass to either capture a splash or distort an image. Open to your interpretation.
I played with star shaped Christmas lights and was disappointed that i never got that shape in the water glass. Much harder than I expected and despite lots of photos taken, very few even made it to be considered. This one won out.

@wakelys Thanks for the challenge. It was hard for me to get the look that was in my head but fun. I realized I had to wait for this evening to take the photos because the results while it was light were not acceptable.

@grammyn Thank you Katy. I will say that the colors came out well if not the star shapes.
@shutterbug49 Thanks so much Debbie.
@amyk Thank you Amy. I could actually see star shapes in the water so that's why I'm a bit disappointed.
@onewing Thank you Babs.
