CRITIQUE CLUB!
When I make these critiques, I try hard to form my opinion before scrolling down and reading what others had to say. Most of the time I have one or two unique things, but in this case it's almost all been said.
Great concept -- and very topical for the challenge. I also just really like the dishes and think they're fun.
My biggest suggestion for this photo would be to try and fix the lighting. The shadow inside the bowl is the most distracting, but upon looking longer at the photo, the glare on the rim of the bowl and the right of the glass are both pretty pronounced. For more even lighting, remove anything blocking the light on the left and try a lower-wattage bulb OR (my preference) some kind of diffuser on the light on the right (typing paper works well for a quickie -- use 2 or 3 sheets for really subtle light). Working with shiny objects is really really tough to avoid glare, but I used the typing paper trick on this photo.
That's about it. My only other comment is the border. I'm admittedly anti-border, but in this case I think a contrasting or more subtle color would be better. You want the border to help the photo pop out, but don't want it to compete with the image. Here, I think it gets in the way.
Keep on shootin'
