This photo is right in the middle of the road for me, because although I think that it's technically very well done, and it certainly meets the challenge, I have already seen many pictures that are very similar to it (bottle pouring over, nailpolish etc)
It's an interesting choice of liquid but the shot itself would interest me more with more of a focus on the liquid, or it covering a greater area. Possibly given the paleness of the nail polish, a less-intensely-bright backdrop would have worked better; I'm curious what it would have looked like against black, in fact.
In my opinion the white balance is off in this picture. The lefthand pool of spilled liquid blends into the background at the bottom edge. I'm intrigued by the subject matter and the color of the liquid.
Nicely set up! Only gripe would be if you had stood just a couple inches to the left, it would have brought the image to a more appealing angle. The edge of the bottle shouldn't be cropped out, in my opinion.
I think this shot works quite well. You might want to look at the shadows your lighting is throwing under the bottle. Personally I would have shot tighter on the brush and the end of the bottle.... the shot is meant to be about the liquid after all.... nice shot though..... Good luck, Todd.
