this beer mug is difficult to capture correctly. The light on the right inhibits details in the light foam. But if you'd choosen a smaller aperture there wouldn't have been details on the left side...I also think that blue cast doesn't fit
Why didn' you crop the anchor lettering entirely?

This is an interesting look, bubbles on top looks like a nice cool drink..
the different colors makes it look really fun and texture is just awesome.

As far as macro goes, I am learning so I can not comment on that
I also bumped up the number too
