Thanks for the critique Alecia. None of the comments touched on the idea that this was taken outside, on a sunny day. I really was trying for that feeling, like sitting at an outdoor table at a cafe. I'm glad you picked that up!

hehe, i figured this was yours lisa! first of all, the lighting and clarity/ color depth of the pic are wonderful. i feel like i am looking at an ad in a sort of holistic magazine! the background is what does it, i think--it gives me a very soothing, nature-friendly sort of impression that fits with the soy milk theme. i think the lighting also helps this--you feel like are outside on a beautiful sunny day... who knows, maybe you are! i can see the sun glinting off of the leaves in the background--very beautiful effect.
technically--I find it interesting that you used an iso of 400---i would have never guessed that! neat image is a very cool thing--i especially like its effect on glass. also, the dof is perfect.
i have been looking at trying to see if there is something, anything i might do differently, and the only thing i can think of is perhaps the angle--maybe come in a little closer to narrow in on the glass more and angle up slightly to catch a more dramatic pour? might be cool, who knows! at any rate, i am very surprised this shot didnt rate higher--i think it is a great shot.

having the face blurred in this case is acctually helpful... then the clarity of the window helps draw the viewers attention there... the only problem for me is the contents of the window... guess I have a closed mind hehe

I like creepy as much as the next guy (or gal as it is), but this really creeps me out. However, I like the b/w, with the touch of color. Very cool brain matter.
