an interesting moment to depict. I want to see more of the phone, better focus, and I'd adjust the angle so the table top was the only background.

There's perhaps too little of these objects in the picture to be called a still life. Also, the lighting isn't very interesting (flat). And since we don't know anything about the call, I have trouble relating. (Though I am a big fan of starbucks!)

I think a closeup of the contents of the cup might have been an interesting still life. Or at least maybe a top down arrangement of cakes with the startbucks cup as the "non-cake" element, taken from the top, with good light. Maybe next time.

Beaut..i hate product placement, but this seeks obviously to go beyond that and illustrate corporate america, or maybe its lesser cousin, impatience of youth.

The title puts emphasis on the phone, but the picture does not. Focus in on the table, instead of the coffee etc.

Odd cadre of a good metaphor

I like this a lot. And not a piece of fruit in sight. Good one.

Like the shot. But I think you may want to show a little more of the Cell Phone. (just because of the Title) : )

Your title tells me you're waiting for the call but I had to go looking for the phone, it's almost lost down on the bottom. I would have liked to seen just a bit more of it. The focus is on the table which, while it has a nice pattern is really rather boring. If the focus had been on the coffee, phone and snack with the table in the background this would have score much higher. A 4

The composition is weird in this, it looks like you just missed everything. There's nothing to focus on.

You crop the main subject out! Interesting... Done by your will?
