Love the shot. The colors are stunning. If I may make one small suggestion which may not be valid but, to me, the cup seems slightly tilted to the left. Maybe straighten it if so?

A string of christmas tree lights, I assume..?
Definite bonus points if nothing was moved especially to create that shot except the camera

I agree with you guys..This needs a little tilt and correction..Thanks for pointing it out..

Thanks for your comments guys..he lights that looks as Bokeh's are nothing but the Christmas color lights that was tied to a pole. I placed the Cup at a good distance and focused on the cup. Making the lights in background out of focus making them beautiful bokehs.
