How did you get into our house?! We suspect that our son has a box of our dishes in his closet from one of his "clean up for company" episodes. I've been tempted to do a "skyline" of cups on his nightstand. Photo quality isn't that great, but since the subject was "garbage", it seems appropriate to me.

trash.. but this photo needs much better focus/image quality and some center of attention or unique perspective to grab my attention better. Composition needs work. 3

Now, this is a walk down memory lane. Unfortunatly, it will take more than bringing back old memories to make a photo interesting. Sorry pal, I'll give it a 2.

first reaction - wow, i thought *i* was untidy as a teenager ;)
challenge met - yes
technical - just a tad overexposed in my mind, looks a tad soft, too
composition - i don't know. i'm trying to picture different angles because this one doesn't appeal to me. maybe from a lower vantage point and try not to get the door into the shot?

this is a funny little snapshot, voted low 'cause it's a little out of focus, flash is a little out of hand. figuring out which flat surfaces are gonna reflect more than their fair share of light (like the door) before you shoot is tough. how about you get your son to sit down in there (somehow), shoot from real low with no flash and a longer exposure, get a portrait of him as lord of his trashy domain.

Just keep the door closed and locked - then let him out when he is 21.

Hey I have a room like that in my house - is he fifteen? Wonder how many others do.

Hmmmm, I would most definitely have to go with trash. This has the makings of a really good photo, but door is a bit distracting and the picture could be sharper, IMO.

Oh my goodness! I decided, he needs to clean that up. I hope posting it on the net had the desired affect. Could have used a bit more focus. DPz
