The photo has an intriguing quality to it. It's hard to tell what the subject is. Without the title, I must say I probably would not have guessed about the bottle of beer. My first impression was that it was an ink bottle or something. Never the less, this shouldn't be a problem with this kind of imagery.
The choice of color is interesting. The table lines and textures adds to the visual quality of the photo. The blur at the top of the bottle is somewhat distracting. The hard flash seems to bring out nice shines on the bottle surface and the shadow is not bothering. The composition seems a bit off to the left, but it's not distracting.
The only problem I find with this photo is it's lack of punch. It just doesn't seem to provide a high enough level of interest visually. Although it does meet with the challenge, the fact that it was shot from above doesn't actually add to the feeling of the composition. The simplicity of a composition is actually something hard to achieve because its subject and lighting has to have a very high level of visual impact to affect the viewer. In this case, the subject is plain and the ovarall impact is quite low. Adding beer drops on the table with light reflections might have helped- or any other detail to enhance the visuals. Unfortunately, as it is, it's a technically ok photo with a less than average visual interest. 5
Keep it up.
Interesting idea. Composition not quite balanced. Bottle sitting too close to edges of frame. If offsetting from centre like this, I think the rest of the frame needs to be bigger.

I like the contrasts here, and the placement of the beer bottle in the image. I just wish it were in focus. Try the macro feature on the camera if you have it. That may allow you to get close and still keep focus.
I can't see what's going on here at all! That's not a criticism in itself - I like abstract shots - but here I find the confusion distracting. Still, a crazily interesting shot.
I'll drink to that!!! Is that a stubby bottle?? I like the sepia look used here. The scratches on the table make me get a feeling that this is from a long time ago - a beer on my grandfather's scratched up kitchen table!! Nice job. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
