Composition-Content
You had a few comments that the crop was a bit tight, however I like the use of the tight crop, with the edge of the bowl just visible. However I agree that the composition is a little central, perhaps using the bowl for the bottom left hand corne and then the milk coming from the right upper corner would have been nice. You have caught a great steady stream of milk, which is very strong, perhaps a few splashes would have been good, but that idea has been used quite a bit recently, so this way is perhaps more original.
Bacgkround
The dark background is good and sets off the bowl and the milk.
Technical
I think that the colour cast is a bit strange here, I wonder what your white balance was set to? A whiter bowl and whiter milk would have contratsed better with the background, IMO. The stream of milk also seems a little over sharpened, or did that happen at the time of taking? I had the same problem with the edge of bottles in my pictures and no amount of unsharp/sharp would correct it, so I am sure not what to do about this!
My Opinion
I think that you have taken a great action picture, with a very strong stream of milk. Perhaps just moving the composition a bit, to take the point of interest out of the center, and also adjusting the white balance would sort this picture out perfectly. Great Shot! Good Luck in the next challenge. |

| Nice shot. Very clear and sharp. A little dark and little tight crop but still decent shot. |

| The lighting is to dark. The mild looks more yellow then white. Try chaning your white settings to indoors. That might help. |

| Your cropping, angle, and color balance seem a bit strange to me (at least on this monitor) the cheerios look almost reddish. The edges of the bowl seem a bit arbitrarily cropped, and I think it could have been improved with a bit less centered composition. |

| Nice shot, perhaps a brighter cereal would have given this more oomph. |

| Nice warm feel to the photos with the color tone. Maybe would have used a plainer bowl to focus on your subject a bit more, and one that didn't make those reflections on the upper right of the bowl. Love the title and the way the light hits the milk stream on the side. |

| Nice shot. I wonder if it would have looked better if you would have gushed the milk into the bowl so as to displace the cereal and give it a little action. |
