We talked about how the bath tub one where the edge of the tub is at eye level is working best because the surface of the water and the few things we can see in it are interacting with the reflection of the window, this is a smart way of pointing to the conversation you want to be having.  

Ways to refine it just a bit are: use water that is more dirty pond like versus chlorinated pool like. Really do consider introducing some 'real' elements in there weather it be motorized toy fish to create some movement in the water or actual fi

sh. 

With the microwave - again this is really close to being a finished image. Pull the framing back a little bit so there is more room around the open door. Consider trying to have the time be 'Cook time' on there instead of numbers. Try using saw dust instead of paper towel. Also try having the microwave door closed for a shot looking though. It is more then okay to make the viewer work a little harder to figure this out. Also we liked the way the contact was slightly more glowy then the print is. 

Try making spaces that look like people are doing this for real as ways to off set their carbon or something. (Like Ray's truck). 

So you have a few images that are close to done, I think that it would be a good goal to make these happen and finish them up so that you can put them aside and know that you have them. Also I think it might be a good idea similar to what I said to Sam aim to make 7 a week. I know that sounds like a ton, but then you are bound to have a few that are final and then a few that we can give you tips on how to clean up and bring to a final state. Just keep going, you're getting there.
