I really like this photo. The water on the rost gives the picture a very unique look. Although, the rose is centered in the corner of the photo, so the rest of the photo is all black. If the rose was centered in would make the image a little more capturing to the eye.

Really great use of negative space. Maybe it would have looked better on the upper left hand corner. That way it would look look it's coming into the page instead of leaving it. Just a thought.

Well taken. Great colors in this shot. could use a little more light though to make the color a bit brighter. It's dark on my screen - Inspzil

Seems a little too high contrast. The darks are dark, the lights are light, and there is not too much in between. I realize this may have been difficult to affect given the natual lighting and depending on your camera.

COMPOSITION
I think the vertical framing of this works very well. I like the different "bands" of color and texture from the top to bottom, and having the subject sitting in the lower part really anchors the scene.

TECHNIQUE
Great capture of the milk and the colors are astounding. Not knowing how many attempts you made at this, and because the subject looks really cold, having the thing on the upper right is a bit distracting. The shadows are also a bit much, but with my limited understanding of geography, you really don't have a lot of time to play with, do you?

OVERALL EFFECT
I chuckled when I saw this, and thought, "He strikes again!" I like the suggestion below of doing a whole series. You could throw a chicken and some eggs, a box of cereal and a bowl, etc. Once again, awesome work; I've enjoyed looking at it, adn this was the most difficult picture to critique, so take it for what it is worth.
