This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the kettle and cup land very well in the Rule of Thirds lines. They are right in the sweet spots of the photo. Only thing bothering me is the slight tilt of the cup.

color: The green is a little too perfect for me, but as others have said, it defiantly makes you look right at it. Good or bad, is your call. The neutral color of the background words well against the black

contrast: only thing that seemed disappointing to me was the lack of more steam. maybe a few inches to the left would have set the steam in front of the black kettle, thus more contrast between the two.

focus: very nice focus, crisp.

depth of field: nicely used, sets the tea more apart from the rest of the image

lighting: The light in the lower left hand corner is a little too bright. its not overexposed, but its quite a bit off from the rest of the creamy neutral background.

other: very well done in my eyes, the composition is nicely thought out, and this was a nice addition to the challenge.
If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

I love the DOF and bit of steam from the cup. The leaf almost seems unnaturally green compared to the tones in the rest of the picture, but it definitely draws your attention to it!

good focus, the incense(?) is behind the cup as well as floating above

I really like this photo. The green compliments the black very well and I think the depth of field does an excellent job drawing me into the leaf. The tri-color border is really bothering me, however.
