 Went for an advertising flair here, obviously. I'd reshoot it if I could, to make it more simple. But I like how this turned out, too.

the negative space is about 60 percent of this composition, pay more attention to what is happening in it. The texture of the insulation ring is nice.

This composition forces me to focus on the out-of-focus area. However, I'm finding it a bit difficult to make out the object; I'm assuming it's an elbow propped on a couch arm rest. If that is the case, it's not a significant enough subject to draw the viewer in.

It's not a particularly visually appealing cup, sadly. It's kind of drab and colorless. I think if you had eliminated the paper insulator it might have been a little better-- I don't really know what the cup looks like. Perhaps this would be less boring if you could see someone in the background enjoying a cup. All, I can make out is an arm (it took me awhile to figure it out--I thought at first it was a jacket thrown over the chair) and a bit of blue jeans).
