Just wanted to say thank you to cresus, eschelar and larus for giving me some PS advice using basic editing rules, that helped a lot! (also thanx to yanko, who said to use more negative space which I tried but not so successfully due to trying to arrange picture around sensor dust) Well, my second entry did better than the first, so I hope this one does better than both.
Also note, my poor lil minolta couldn't do this picture AT all, so I used my bf's 30D with his super dust-tronic lens complete with authentic Japanese hair inside. (he's still banging his head over that one) Sucks about the milk being blown out, but I had to in order to get rid of the last few sensor dusts, so let the voting begin
hmmm... here's a little darker version:

I'll go with the comments about the difficulties of white-on-white, and try to remember that myself!
Very creative idea, though, and your hand position matches the title very well. I know that feeling myself, which is why I'll choose a wide-rimmed cup for cookie dipping.
Amanda, for what it is worth, I would have shot the milk against a colored background for contrast. You run into a lot of issues with white-on-white if you don't have very sophisticated control of the lighting.
I'm thinking a nice red background would have given your shot a few more points.
There must be Oreo karma based on the number of cookie lens caps... :-) Might be a bit better to have the glass more to the right of the pic and show more of the shadow.
