Hi greetings from the CC. IMP this image does not display too much conflict, tho I am not such a topic stickler. I think one of the biggest challenges in photography is choosing a subject, I think it is important IMO that the topic has some universal appeal, and a topic like 'conflict' is emotional in nature, I think this shot is emotionally flat.
As far as strictly technical, the DOF is done well, I would like to see some more color in the shot to add some drama, perhaps with a darker bckgrnd and some softer lighting? Or food dye in the water?
Being a studio type shot I would of also given a little more room on the top and bottom so subjects not so close to edges.
Hope this was not too harsh a comment, and that it is food for thought, keep shooting!

No conflict here . . . oil beats water every time. Or are the two glasses racing? Kinda confusing. Good, sharp exposure, though.

A really nice idea for this challenge. Original and well excuted. The only distracting thing about it is the various little specs on the glasses and table. I would have rated this higher if it had been cleaned up in post processing.
Score: 7 Nicely done! Good luck!

So many scratchs and smudges in the glass. Glass pictures are complex due to this. Great use of the DOF.
