Caramel Macchiato

[nDre]

I think this is my first time post, or at least after a long time
In this picture I'm trying to compose my shot as such that the viewer could see that it is a caramel macchiato, hence the caramel flowing on the side of the glass.

But somehow, I feel that there's something wrong or missing or that these pictures can be improved.
My question is: which of the 2 pictures you like better and any idea on how to capture "caramel macchiato" in photo?

Cheers

#1 Caramel Macchiato 1



#2 Caramel Macchiato 2



Technical details:
ISO 200
apperture: f/5
shutter: 1/200 & 1/125
Exposure compensation: +1/3 EV

If i had to choose i'd pick the second one but IMO i would be interested to see the shot without the glass handle. It takes the focus away from the scrummy yummy caramel

ooopps....I just tried to lick the carmel off my laptop.
I was thinking what would happen if you tried a darker or differnt colour background so that the whipped cream doesnt wash out....I like both shots they look so yummy...

I agree with micmare. I think a darker or even black background would really make this composition pop. Here the white background distracts somewhat from the main subject. But great idea.

I think it is a really nice high-key product image. Actually it just really made me crave a Caramel Macchiato

hey, thanks for all the comments..
If i got the chance, I'll try doing it with a dark background and compare the results..

I prefer shot one, not sure why I just like the composition better. Agree about trying it out with a darker background, or maybe even a goldy type background to compliment the colours.
