Nice picture, the blue clip inter-twined with the steel ones is very nice. Possibly a different BG colour? lol though I don't know what colour would look good, maybe red, did you try any others?

I see the complaint about the reflection. I have to disagree. I think that the reflection helps to bring this even more 'into your home'. I feel that this is something that you always do IN your home, and this does give a nice sense of home.
Your focus and clarity are really good. Nice detail in the cup, the pot and even in the reflection. Although it's pretty small, and we can't really see everything, it still looks like a kitchen back there.
I like how this is centered, but not really. The cup is to the right, and the pot is to the left, but it all kind of meets in the middle.
I think that the lighting is perfect. It displays the subject nicely, in my opinion, no harsh shadows or annoying bright spots. The is a noticable light coming through the window in the reflection, however, I don't think it effects the photo negatively. Overall very nice.
I do notice that the tiles on the wall are tilted, but I don't think that's the fault of the photographer, I think it's the fault of the person who put the tiles on the wall. lol Cause the tile line at the top of the cup, going to the left is nice and straight, however the one right above it tilts to the right slightly. Oh well, not a big deal at all. Just something that is noticable.
I think it's an excellent shot.

The only real problem with the subject is those bottles really don't spill like this in my experience -- that's half the point of squeeze bottles. The basic idea is sound. I think I would have liked it better at a slightly top-down angle to emphasize the liquid.

A little too busy.The blue one doesn't seem to stand out as much as I would expect it to.

Nice composition - and way to clean the glass you may have had dirty from other challenges! :) Good crop here, I like the way the cap is opened up - Why is there soap above the nozzle and would this have not looked better with a deeper DoF and fewer bubbles? Just a thought! I like this one.

Now this uses the same subject matter as another picture in this challenge. This image, however, makes use of the rigid red cap as a backdrop for the lively green liquid. Moving the red cap out of the center of the frame helps to draw the attention to the bubbles in the green liquid. The liquid has a soft, alive contour as opposed to the sharp, distinct outline of the bottle and cap. This composition seems much more alive and interesting to me than the previous post.

I think it would have been more on target if the soap in the foreground was in focus and the cap out. 5
