 This was lit with a large softbox directly overhead. I took a bunch of variations of this basic setup. I used a straw to blow bubbles in the milk to give it a little more interest.

I love this photo but would love it even more without the triangle on the bottom. I feel it seems to detract more than it adds (even though it is pointing up towards the plate). Also the arrangement of the Oreos seems a little too "sterile" for my tastes. I guess it would depend on the end-use of the photo.

Nice use of shapes and pattern. Bubbles in the milk look a bit messy. But the lighting is very good. Overall a pretty decent photo.

The only thing I would have done differently would be to pop the milk bubbles! The lighting is very nice.

Very strong geometric shapes posed in a very bold composition. The lighting is good. But something feels missing... can't put my finger on it...

Great stock composition, but the plate is a little blown out. And don't know if the milk bubbles would work for stock.

"Hey! who's been eating my cookie??!!!!!"

Nice geometry and clean feel to this shot. I sort of wish you'd popped the bubble though.

technically good shot, nice lighting. hadn't cropped the plate at top. the bubbles on the milk are too large IMO. Not really meeting challenge, there's nothing that has been cooked here.

Everything is so perfect, then a bubble in the milk. I feels like it is taken away from the perfection of the picture.

Wish the top of the plate wasn't cut off, but otherwise I really like the colors and composition.

A photo of food rather than cooking. I like the colours though.
