Greetings from the Critique Club.
Well, I'm going to start out by saying one thing: I personally dislike "Play on Words" photos. That's just me, and I don't represent DPC in any way.
What I like: For being a hardy-har-har type photo, this is actually pretty good. The frame and pitcher are both pleasing and interesting pieces, and the water background adds great depth (no pun intended) to the photo.
What I don't like: First, the photo is too small. With your soopa-camera, you should be able to submit a 640x480 image easily. Secondly, the color is washed out. This wouldn't be so noticeable except for the hand in the photo -- it definitely looks shadowed. Try not using auto-levels in Photoshop -- it's a mathematical calculation. Try instead manually adjusting the levels to see the variations. It's very cool. (In one of my "How'd They Do That?"s I mention my hatred of auto-levels -- here's a link.)
Overall, a great start. Welcome to DPC and keep at it.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to leave comments! I agree with everyone that it should be a little larger, but I was finding it very difficult to resize the file and found the tutorial that a few people pointed me to not very helpful. I'm thankful for those of you who had a sense of humor and were able to laugh! ;-)

| I like the way you've done this, but two things spoil it: 1) the hand, 2) the shape of the frame, which lets you see the background. Plus the whole thing is too small. |

| Interesting take on the challenge. A good image, but a) too small and b) meets challenge in a way that many voters are likely to dislike. But what do I know...I like it. |

| I wish that there was no hand in the pic and that you had cropped bit more on the top and right, but I do really like the frame looks filled with water, nice one. |
