this looks like you took him by surprise--hope you didn't make him spill anything! i also hope that this isn't getting lost in the shuffle of this uber-sized challenge, and that you are getting good feedback. good luck with this and all the challenges yet to come!
If we could see a little more of his surroundings - with him in a less centered composition- this might tell a stronger story. Otherwise he's just a cute guy ;)
Standard portrait shot, nothing special. Might have tried to maybe get more of the surroundings in the shot, i.e. the counter, the Lion beer dispenser, use the rule of thirds...attempt to make it a little more dynamic. Good Luck.
