My reluctant girlfriend held a mug of milk over her head and dropped it on the ground at her feet while I captured it. Unfortunately the mug didn't break, but it only took me one try.

I love this shot, and how the milk splashes out of the cup. I think it would have looked better on a kitchen floor, for example, but who wants to mop up the milk and cup.
You've proven that spilt milk can be beautiful. I may have to get a print of this shot and hang it over my kitchen table to remind me of that (we spill a glass at least 2-3 times a week). I would like to see it in a different setting, but the milk drops are really what stands out.
Technically I guess you could say you accomplished a stopped motion image, but one without artistic merit, imo. The background, besides being underexposed and ugly, has no relation to the subject. I think with a bit more expousre you could have whitened the milk more to have greater impact. The one thing I do like in this picture is the milk droplets that appear to float in space.
You captured the motion nicely with enough DOF and light. It may just be my monitor but it looks a little over shappened for my taste. Overall nice photo. 6
