First I had to clone out the drop in the middle of the decanter and a lot of the reflections on the glass
step 2 of 3
In the next step I cut out the model and placed her in the bottle. The difficult part was to get the lighting right. I used a slight gaussian blur and warp on the model image.
Later, I changed the color of her shirt with curves.

Then I painted lighting and used dodge and burn on. The shine around the bottle is done with exposure adjustments and a mask for the adjustment layer.
