The very first thing I notice here is that the focus is really soft. I'm actually not really seeing a sharp point of focus.
The lighting hurts mostly, but I do like the little star reflections inside the glass. I don't like the bottom side of the glass because it's really bright, and the glare is white and distracting. Usually when I use flash, the focus turns out to be a bit nicer, but it doesn't seem to be the case in your situation.
The background is good. Nothing distracting in the background. I think though that the glare near the bottom ON the background is a bit distracting, but that isn't the background itself.
Definately liquid. Meets the challenge just fine. I wonder if a different angle would have helped to reduce the glare. For the look of the photo, I think the angle is good though. Also, a little trick I use with my camera is i put a white plastic cup over the flash, and it seems to help a little on glares.
Overall, an interesting idea. With better focus and lighting, I think that this would be something neat.
