I'd like to have seen this pic with the full reflection of the glass on that shiny table

I'm partial to the occasional single malt myself. I thnik that the background detracts from the image though, it draws my eye immediately away from the glass rather than the subject drawing me further into the photo.

A subject like this needes a more unique perspective, lighting and composition IMO.

What is the is in the background? Slightly distracting. I also suggest not centering it perfectly, adding a little more movement to the picture.

My eye instantly went to the contents of the glass. I think that the simplicity of this composition works well.

wish the crop was tighter ... the reflection from the table is a bit distracting also ..

"Rocks" are too melted. Would look better with larger cubes.

Good DOF

Composing the subject (the glass) more off center, and not having those dust specs (bottom left) would have gained an extra couple of points.
