COMPOSITION
This photograph is really not say much to me. I'm sorry to say but it really looks as though it was simply put together for the challenge and not a carefully thought out and implemented photo.
As has been said before, the shadows are really distracting from the ultimate point of the photo and I think also the colours of the mugs. Perhaps it would have been more effective to use uniform mugs?
Also something just seems to be off about the whole composition - there seems to be either too much or too little black space on the right.
Your DOF also seems to be off with the first mug being blurred. IMO it would have been more effective to have the first mug in focus and have the mugs blurring as they go on.
BACKGROUND
The black background was a good idea and it adds to the image rather than distracting the viewer. As I said before though, there either seems to be too much of it or too little of it.
CAMERA WORK
The subject is not focused properly and I don't find the image to be sharp and effective.
The lighting could have been used a lot more effectively as well.
MY OPINION
I know this is beginning to sound quite harsh but I am hoping that you will take this the way it is meant - constructive criticism. Don't forget that it is only my opinion!
If I were to see an edited and redone version of this photo I would like to see better lighting to take the shadows off the handles, all of the mugs the same colour and pattern and a shift in the focus to have the first mug in focus rather than the last. |

| Although I wish this was more clearly in focus and maybe crop out the imprint on the first mug, I really like the creativity of your idea. |

| Good idea. Better lighting would make this a very nice one. The shadows of the first mug, and then the second, and so on, are a bit distracting anf steal some impact from the photo. |

| Interesting perspective in this photo. But while it's interesting, I don't really stay interested for a long time. And I think I would've like it more if the mugs were in more focus. But it's a nice job. |

| Creative approach and unique. I wish the shadow along handles were'nt there and even extended the mugs further and perhaps curving---cool idea tho. |
