I think I can see some cookie crumbs and a profile of a cookie in the splash. It alsao looks like it could have been a messy shot to have to re-do. Nice stop action, with such a narrow DOF did you splash the lens?

Mmmm, I could go for this right about now.

I like how the splash has so much depth to it. Although I'm not so certain about the half eaten cookie, I think a pulled apart Oreo could work even better.

Black on black usually doesn't work too well... but he's shiny, so it makes for a great shot. And his eye really balances it out. Love it

Good looking oreos. I'll guess you pushed the ISO to get a fast enough shutter speed to capture some of the splash because there's a distracting amount of noise in the background. The very narrow DOF does not include enough of the glass and milk particles. Also, the foremost oreo (partially eaten) is in front of the DOF plane. It really hurts my eyes to view the elements in focus and OOF elements... side-by-side. What did you want the viewer to see? The black frame is a big negative. At the top portion of the image, the frame melts into the black bg. It reduces the amount of viewable image. The crop is too tight, with the most interesting part of the splash forced to the top border, where the black frame cuts it off. The nearly square rectangle voids any harmonious composition attempt to asymmetrically compose the subject. I do believe you have the white balance done correctly. I do like oreos. 10

I think I don't want to know how your place looked after the shooting. But maybe it was the first that worked so well!

Great splash! Love the half eaten oreo. Bet this was a mess to clean up. You got a great shot out of it though. Good job.

Hopefully you landed this on one shot, as it could have been a messy exercise. Good capture all round 7
