I realize people prefer to set up shots like this with no visible human intervention but it looks a bit odd to me like the pitcher is suspended in mid-air rather than being poured. I think with more of a tilt downwards this impression would be reduced without introducing the hand. I also personally would not have minded the hand showing.
I like the choice of mug/pitcher in terms of their attractiveness, and the pale but slightly patterned (if only by shadow) background, and the contrast between them. The concept is sound. There's maybe a little too much negative space below the cup to balance the top out well.
I like this simple composition and the mug and pitcher are interesting to look at as is the shaded background. I do however, wish your colors were more saturated and brighter. The liquid itself, which should be prominent is uninteresting and lackluster.
Nice shot. I like the grainyness of the shadows. Reminds me of the 'Kitchen Guest' in the Fauna challenge. The shadow effect is similar, but the pottery is different. 8
I really like your take on the challenge. I just don't care for the placement of the subjects...or rather crop. Perhaps cropping the bottom up to the bottom of the cup would be better. Also, it could be the make of the cup, but it looks a bit lopsided.
