i really love the colors. the random sizes of the images work well, too.

the snap shot qualities comes from the obviousness of you taking the images and with 1 and 5 being so close in content. just because you're young and have no expeirence doesn't mean you can't make professional looking images, so don't get down on yourself too hard. i starting a litte bit younger than you are and now i'm getting a bfa and soon a masters in photography, so don't gt discouraged. i like that there are a series of images in one. it's a semi comic strip feel of seeing the whole story as opposed to a true series. i think it fits well. if anything i would take 5 out. you have three that you are looking at the camera and without 5 i think that 1 fits better. looking at it i would also take out 2 and re arrange the images. but also remember this is your work and criticism is just that and no matter at the end of the day it is your work.

First of all I am very speechless because of this amazingly wide criticism. It's very very appreciated and thank you sooo much !

I also don't have real photography skills or professional knowledge(since I am 15), and it's really more kind of hobby. I am not sure what makes the 1. picture a snapshot? I actually like it most off all.. because of the light, contrast.. and expression. The 5th.. yes that's right absolute snap-shot-ish, I will cut it off.. the light is too bright.. just "snap-shot", even if I like the expression.

And well, I have already some ideas (drawing book, book, newspaper, nail file.. =) and things like that, unfortunately you can't photograph music). What do you think of them? It's a little depressing that I will have to wait until there are good conditions again. The wonderful light comes from the attic window above my bed, and I have only a very cheap digital camera... And yes.. like you said.. I took them all by myself.. it was very spontaneously.

Do you think there are too much pictures in this one?

I am absolutely happy, that it caused some feelings and imaginations. (Actually my most loved daydream at the moment.. *sighing*)

the images give a sense of seduction. as though the photographer is the partner of this girl and capturing the "cuteness" of getting up late and spending all day in bed together. the 1st and 5th image are too snapshot as though you took them yourself. i think you took these all yourself, since i can't see both arms. i like the documentary aspect more than anything, so i don't feel the 1st and 5th images go well with this series. maybe something else to show a lazy day? the spoon and bowl work well. think about what else you would do on a lazy sunday and add thsoe images. always look to your own life for ideas. i think over all it is a great work. the colors work well and the lighting is well executed.

Heey I think you are absolutely right.. "reviewer.. "

I am not sure.. but I like it too somehow.. I have an addiction to coffe.. but a full cup does not really express anything.. than passion.. this is... hmm I am not sure.. maybe the way you described.. I like that yyou se ethat the sppon was used.. really.. it's not a sad feeling.. but also not a very happy feeling.. on sunday mornings.. but mostly it's happy.. just the way you feel sundays..

Well actually.. I made othe rstillives that morning.. just things I do in bed.. drawings, homeworks, newspaper, nailfile.. but they didn't came out so good.. andactuaylly.. didn't fit in this..
