I love the creativity here. It is simple and strong and very effective for bringing a smile to the viewer. The colours are rich, the background doesn't compete, it is a sharp photograph, well exposed, nicely contrasted and good marginal space. When you have round objects, try using perfectly square format, the reason for this is because the equidistant sides of the square help keep our eye within the frame...the pathway of the eye goes around and around but bounces off the 4 walls....try it, see if you find the image becomes stronger. Top notch work here.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I appreciate it! I will try this and think you're right, it would draw eyes into the middle more if it was cropped square 
The artistry of your eye is evident with the cup of tea in the background to give us a visual journey of delight. Nice composition. The technical elements are well done with good contrast shown, natural colour, sharp in focus. The background could be more level but that is strictly my own opinion and I bow to your artistic prerogative. Sweet upload (get it?)
Thanks a lot - even with the bad pun at the end.
Howdie stranger!
