From back when I got my first real nice DLSR. I can't wait to get a crack at these again.
Image from Ash Canyon Bed and Breakfast near Ft Huachuca, AZ
D2H
MF 400mm 2.8 and 2xTC (can't remember the brand, don't use it anymore)
1/80 @ f 5.6
About 60% of frame shown.
The yellowish fringe / halo in front of the gorget is in the original and I didn't spend a lot of time trying to remove it.
The fact that I was photographing hummingbirds @ 1/80 is a testament to how little I knew at the time and how lucky I was to get this so so image out of it.
Thanks. I was trying to crop most of the bottle out. Cloning didn't even cross my mind for some reason. I call it tunnel vision :D
Good idea, I'll give it a go.

I'd be excited about seeing these guys again, too.....this one is gorgeous. Good suggestion about the glass. I'd say you're ready for the next encounter.
