Breakfast

What do you think? I know there's maybe too much going on in the picture, but this was just a breakfast moment I had to capture.

Not too much going on for me to be bothered; I like the lightness and feel of this image. It's lovely that your subject is looking at the window, obviously contemplating the start of the new day. I think it's terrific!

Overall the shot is a bit on the bright side - it matters less in the window but it would be nice to see the detail in the tabletop. Aside from that nitpick, I think it's a moment that was well worth capturing!

A very serene image; as Terri said, perhaps just a bit bright, but nothing major. What I especially like is that I can see a bit of, "Oh brother, he's got that stupid camera pointed at me. Again!" expression on her face.

It's a very nice moment. I agree with above. The only other thing that got my attention is it looked like the flowers were in the milk.

Minor, though. Nice moment.

Maybe too bright, yes. It annoys me that her glass is blocking her elbow!

Anyway, I am considering getting it framed; it doesn't do very much just sitting on the computer. Thanks for the comments! I appreciate it

Very nice but title should be "Breakfast with a beautiful young lady"

Very nice picture and good idea for such. Maybe worth repeating ?
It is very "light", especially window and table area. I am afraid this is a digital shot. If that would be film with little burning still some detail would be recoverable

. You are saying, the glass is interfering with the elbow. I think this is brilliant, interesting part of the frame, Compo is quite regular but in the frame are elements not so pretty like the electrical (or phone) outlet high on the wall. This part; from the outlet to the right is, well, unnecessary IMO. I would cut this in different way:
