Ha, I used to do this as a kid, drove my mother bonkers.

This has some real potential. Nice strong line with the straw, which also provides a definite contrast. The blue and white of course make for some nice crispness and the bubbles give it a lighthearted feel. Unfortunately, these positives are nearly hidden by the blown out white and the soft focus. Had all the lines (bubbles, straw, curve of cup) been nice and crisp I could see this really having a "wow" factor to it. As it stands it seems a bit snapshotty to me. Still it meets the challenge and has a good idea behind it and the composition in general is very nice. I gave a 4.

Fun colors, but not the most attractive subject.

I like the perspective on the straw and the colors. The milk bubbles are ok, but I wish they were a stronger element in the picture - like they were larger or filled more of the glass.
