Critique requested

I'm experimenting with a new series of photographs...

You can find the first one here: Office Day

Tell me what you think. Is it too much in one picture? Is it too confusing? Too small? Too cluttered? Should I use a neutral background instead?

Go ahead, give it to me! :)

It is a bit cluttered, but it's got lots of personality.

Cluttered? Hm... Maybe a neutral background instead?

Yeah, I think a neutral background will tone it down a bit, and make it easier to focus on the rest of the picture.

amarissia Summed up my initial impression of it. Cluttered was the first word that came to mind. Ooo try it with it a neutral background, maybe that would be less jarring visually than the suggestion I posted in my critique.

I'll re-do it and try to unclutter it.

Thank you for posting a critique on it at DA! <3

Tiny bit cluttered, although I rather like that. Damn, I LOVE seeing the space where other people work, makes me feel I know them a little bit better. OH AND I WANT YOUR ORANGE STAR MUG.

That um, wasn't very helpful critique-wise, was it?

*ggg*

Cluttered seems to be the consensus. I'll try re-arranging the pics to make them clearer...

*gg* My orange star mug? That's part of a series of mugs with different designs. ^^ I'm not sure they're available in the UK. They're produced by Cha-Cult. But I don't think that these exist anymore. Unfortunately, since some of them have lost their handles... ;__;

*gg* It was just fine. Thank you. ^^
