You Catch More Flies With Honey.....

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: As other voters have commented, the focus needs some work. The captured colors are very nice, but I think a color other than white would have been better for this one.

Lighting: The lighting is off. Your background is a bit too bright and your subject a bit too dark. Perhaps some fill flash would have benefited the end results here.

Composition/Content: Your composition is too centered for this shot. While I am no stickler for the 'rules' of photography, I think a more offset subject would have also helped.

My Opinion: I think with a few small adjustments, this one could have pulled a better score. I do like the creativity of meeting the challenge, as this is the only shot of its type that I remember in the results.

Needs better focus so you could see the tension of the honey under the flies. Also detail on flies is very matte. A bit more shine would have been better.

More of the concentric circles would appeal.

I'm guessing the right side is chocolatemilk? I'm missing the nice brown chocolatty colour here.

I like the composition, but the drink doesn't look appetising :) Maybe making the drink a really dark cocoa colour or using darker chocolates would have provided a contrast; as it is they're both very similar shades of brown.

The brown is washed out and not rich enough. Saturate the brown, add contrast and take down the exposure.
