I think this would have worked better with a non reflective table or surface. Very nice picture. I like the placement.

Reminds me of a beer ad - I expect to see some big text on the right. Light is nice. Exposure is nice. Reflection adds nice effect. The subject is not very interesting, but nice from a technical perspective.

A nice crop. The off-center positioning helps keep it a little unique, yet you've managed to keep the negative space to a minimum. The border actually does add to this picture (and borders on really black/dark or bright/white background photos are a good idea usually). You've lit it very nicely, and have great clarity. I'd play around with the focus a little more. Overall, a great shot, but I feel a certain flatness in the feel. Perhaps a prop of some sort (Darts, a coaster, some kind of pub element) at the side of the cup would have given this photo a touch more life?

mmmmmm.. Deschutes :) Home of "Obsidian Stout"... my favorite of the west coast non-micro stouts :) I can't buy it here though because NC has a 6% maximum alcohol content law... it sucks to live in a culturally deprived part of the country :(
