Critique of Steven's sequence pics

1)  I like how the colors are very warm and the sequence carries the twirl of motion through.  The first picture has less motion but the second seems to pick up motion.  The persons image helps you to see that the lights are above and around him/her.  The lightness on the right side balances out the darkness on the left from the persons body.  Gives a lot of feeling of motion.  I would like to be able to see the person's face or more outline of their body to get a better idea of what is actually in motion and what is not.  The persons body shows rule of thirds.  There is asymetrical balance that gives you the feeling of going from the right to the left into the darkest spot of the pictures.
2)  The sequence is good in that it is obvious what the subject is (cup of chocolate milk).  I would have liked to see the angle on the glass/table not change in the bottom sequence.  There is some motion in the pouring of the milk but mostly stop motion in just seeing the cup in constant images.  The focus seemed a little off in the middle sequences.  There are a few vertical lines and the point of view is different in that we are looking at the cup at a downward angle.  There is a vertical line within the table that lines up with the spoon.  There is rule of thirds where the glass is on the right divider plane.
3)  I like the subject of this sequence in how it is very natural and not planned.  The lighting is good and there is just blur in her hand motion as she rolls the dough.  The images seem to have a little too much going on and it takes away from the focus on the dough.  The pop of red in the right corner balances out the pop of red in the upper left corner.  The white dusting of flour balances out the tissue at the top of the counter.
