Your composition is great here, it is a very "clean" image, nice and simple. Th positioning of the coffee maker is good, without including the whole thing, but understandable to the viewer what it is. The tilt of the mug also adds interest and enhances the overall composition. I think that overall the choice of excluding a dairy product was a good one and added a new twist to the challenge, but it might have cost you a few votes, as the challenge was to photograph something dairy. Personally, I like it.
Tehnical
Focus is sharp and I like the use of grain, which I think adds atmosphere to the shot. Also, the blue tint is good, not overdone but adds another element to the overall content of the picture. I like the lighting here, which adds a bit of contrast between the dark and light areas, perhaps a little more light on the right side would be good, which would decrease the uneven grain.
My Opinion
Great shot, I agree with Patella, kind of a stock shot, could be used in advertising. Good Luck in the next challenge.

I like the fact that you tried something different for this challenge, its a good interesting shot. Composition is good , but I find my eyes wandering around looking for the main point. ould have been good if one of the cows had been looking at the camera, not that you could exactly ask them to turn around, but I wonder if you had waited, then maybe you could have caught the face of one of the cows in the middle.
Background
The background is quite washed out here, this can be seen as a good thing as it focuses attention on the cows, but I think I would have prefered a bit more detail in the background.
Technical
Focus is good and I like the use of B/W. I wonder where in the piture you took the meter reading,as overall the tones are quite bright. I think that a bit more contrast in the background and also in the water would have been good, there are some cool swirls in the water/mud area which would have shown up better with more contrast.
My Opinion
I like it! I think that it's an interesting shot and it's nice to see other kinds of shots apart from studio style. Just feel sorry for the cows! Good Luck in the next challenge.

I love the use of B/W and grain in this shot, the border sets it off perfectly. One of my top pics this week. Could this be magnetic?

A very interesting abstract city life shot, lots to look at and keep the viewers attention. Perhaps a human element would have been good in the top center window.

This is so cool! Great composition and contours and the lighting really sets this off. This should do really well! Good Luck!
