Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club. Let's get started.
Initial Thoughts
Kind of bland.. yes, it's milk, but there's nothing really interesting going on here. Kind of blurry.
Composition / Content
Compositionally, it's a little bottom heavy. The glass itself centered more would help a little.. or possibly more from the top to eliminate the background. Truthfully though, I just can't see a way to make this a more dynamic and grabbing photo.. I'm just not that good myself :)
Background
Unfortunately, the background here is just a little too busy, and the cutoff from the tray to the back of the seat/floor really distracts too much from your subject. "Clean" works very well on DPC. Something to always watch out for.
Camera Work / Technical
Having owned the s7000, I can say that I know how hard it is to focus with the thing in low-light.. even on "manual focus" (although with that camera manual focus is pretty much worthless). Your choice of aperature, although sort of needed for the low light, certainly didn't help with focus. and DOF either. The photo is just too fuzzy in the areas in needed sharp focus to be appealing to voters. Your exposure is also a little too low, although the white balance is nice.
Digital Processing
A little more work with sharpening and levels might have brought this out a little better, but it's hard to fix a photo that just isn't very strong to begin with. That's about all I can suggest for post.
Fits the Challenge
Obviously fits the challenge, but as pointed out, not a strong photo in and of itself, which causes "meeting the challenge" to go by the way-side.
My Opinion of the Photo
A not very flattering photo of a not very flattering subject. Dynamic lighting, tack sharpness, and a change of perspective would probably really help a photo like this.. but that's not always possible on an airplane.
Good luck in the future. |

| I like the perspective, but other than that I don't really get it. |

| I am reminded of my trips to work. Although my glass is full of coffee. And my glass isn't a glass. It's a travel mug. The glass of milk seems out of place in this photo and it's out of focus. |

| I saw your title first, and after seeing some of these entries, I expected to see a fly in your photo :-) I'm not one to comment technically - I leave that to the "experts" here, but I think it's a nice shot. |
