Two glasses, each half-full (or half-empty, as the case may be), shot with one back farther than the other for a slight optical illusion to represent the half-empty/half-full opposition. Adjustments made were: cropping, desaturating the colors a bit, sharpening.

Cropped a little tight for my liking. Personally, I would have laft a little space above and below the front glass. Other than that I like it. Nice and simple. Good focus on the front glass. Lighting works well here.
A very interesting set up for this challenge. I like the forced perspective, showing that it is point of view that allows one to judge something as a positive or negative. I would have liked to see a little higher contrast to this shot. Very well done.
I wish you had left a tiny bit of space around the top and bottom of the glass in the foreground. Given the area left and right the bottom and top feel squeezed. Very tough subject matter well shot.
Though someone else had the same idea, I really liked the way you did this. I think the way you set it up was poignant, you made your point well, and it was interesting to look at. It would perhaps have been even stronger had the "half full" glass been yellow, and the "half empty" one blue, but perhaps the simplicity of your shot is still best. I gave you a 10, nice work. :)
Great take on the challenge! The image is very effectice - nice composition (but a bit crowded at the top), nice DoF. Lighting could have been a bit better.
