Cool idea, I really like it. The border is excellent BTW. I think this would have been a lot better without the Kiss in the front left though. The writing and it's focus are a distraction. Good Job.

the girl seems to be in a strange position, leaning down or forward too much.

Wanna Cookie?

YES YES I DO WANT A COOKIE. Man that looks so appetizing!

Lighting: A bit harsh and strong. What you need to do is not point your clamps directly at the subject but rather away at a piece of white cardboard. This will cause the light falling on your subject to be a lot more diffuse, and less glarey.

Focus: The front lip of the glass is in focus but the cookie is not. It's not enough out of focus that it looks like a cool DOF effect. A smaller aperature (bigger #) would have helped here.

Composition: The placement of the cookie is kind of confusing. Because it's slightly overlapping it's kind of hard to tell if it's in the mouth of the glass or behind the glass. The DOF thing adds to this. I'd like it not overlapping or more fully overlapping.

Great shot!! You made me break out the Chunky Chips Ahoy!
