Critique Club critique:
Composition/Content: Good effect tilting the camera. I think the picture would look more natural if you put the cookies on a small plate or something. Good subject.
Lighting: The lighting could be a little stronger to lighten up the image, athough you did a good job of quieting any harsh shadows. With an F2.8 aperature and a 1/30 shutter, the only way to lighten the image is with a stronger light.
Background: The image would look better if you had put the glass and cookies on a piece of posterboard that was curved from the bottom then up the back of the picture to produce no seams.
Camera Work/Technical: You did a good job capturing the pouring milk in the glass. Good focus.
Digital Processing: A little sharpening might have helped the image. I would like to have seen what "Neat Image" would have done to this shot.
My Opinion: Two things, more light and seamless background would have made a big difference in this image. I like the idea and angle. Great subject, cookies and milk.

| You do realize that Coke is going to BAN you from ever drinking thier product again? Really great the way you have the wave of the milk curling up in the glass. |

| I'm not sure if making this a diagonal shot helped this.The lighting is a little flat, great composition though. |

| Haha! Why is it going into a Coke glass? The posterboard line is a little distracting and it seems a little dark on my screen... the shadows from the pitcher maybe? |

| Who keeps their milk in a pitcher and makes sure all their cookies are right side up before eating them? :) |

| Creative idea and nice shot. I like the angle although I feel it may have been just a bit overdone. |

| The composition of this is OK, and the lighting is nice. I don't like the seam in the background. The subject matter is a bit uninspiring. Some other milk and cookies photos in this challenge have really grabbed me because they do something different with composition, etc. |

| A good way of getting the seem out of the papers meeting is to bend your posterboard and put the glass on top of it so you don't see any seem. The light seems to do good at reflecting to. |

| I don't like the angle on this one. It feels to disorienting. The cookies look a bit funny too. would work better with oreos or chocolate chips. Having said all that, I like the pouring motion and the composition ( of the glass, milk, and pitcher only), so I'll give you an 8. Jacko. |

| Should've done beer and birthday cake or cookies, a local favorite contradiction. Nice composition, but could've used some more light. I am sure you've already heard that. |

| Good idea just needs better execution. Would have come across better if you couldn't see the seem between the table and wall. As is, you can see that the camera was tilted, not the glass. Good attempt. Everything in focus with nice cropping. Like the "coke' glass idea. Still worth a 7 for the photograph quality. |
