I understand this was probably an action shor at a busy coffee shop, but the grungy pitcher isn't all that appealing. Everything in this shot just looks grungy and dirty, and that's not what I want to think of when I'm drinking my coffee. :( Focus also seems a bit off, and the lighting falls off too much in the back.

I think that maybe a longer exposure and some motion blur of the hand and the pitcher would have improved this shot.

I like the idea here as the subject has the ability to do wonderful things with light but this treatment is just slightly unappealing

there's so much going on with a steamer cup, frothing the milk and all that...
i would be interested in seeing this picture taken from other angles that better demonstrate the energy and activity going on there. perhaps one angle could be an tight overview shot with all that frothy milk billowing up...

Nice shot but I don`t get the thirds rule

Although a great photograph, it is not really rule of thirds. The main focus of the picture must fall within the bisection of the lines that divide the image. A shallower DOF would of allowed you to move the main focus of the photo to one of those bisecting points.

Now forgetting about the rule of thirds here, you did an excellent job of getting this close to the hopper. It is a wonderful photo full of colour and contrast.
