Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - This is a very simple composition. Probably a good one to start out with to get your feet wet in DPC. There isn't a lot to it, hence I don't have a lot to say about it. The background under the cup would've been better if it were something non-reflective. This could've had a lot of visual impact if you would've put something in the bottom of the cup. The oil may have magnified it or reduced it thru the water.

Technical - Not a bad little photo at all. Good exposure and framing. No harsh reflections in the water or oil and also a very sound choice to use black and white.

Overall - Very simple well taken photo. But realistically for DPC, a little too simple. In future weeks, I'd encourage you to work on creative composing a little more. Good to get this one under your belt, but you really could've done some fun stuff with this one to make it a little more visually impacting. Put a coin in the bottom or something more colorful, just to see how it will look. Always explore the possibilities and dare to try something new and different. It doesn't always work out, but you'd be surprised how many do work out pretty well. Good Luck with your future challenges. - Inspzil

I suppose it's an okay photo. Not that much of a wow to it.

Your idea is very interesting, but to me, it needs more visual impact. Challenge met. Lighting - Good, except for the glare in the upper left corner. 6 Swash

Nice effect! The oil looks so heavy in the cup, good one!
