The lighting on the photo (and subjects) is a bit dark. Might suggest a tighter crop on the left side as the shadow on the wall made from the paper is distracting.

hm...tough to light indeed without proper studio gear. The first thing i notice is that it's strongly lit from the right side. this casts strong shadows from you, the cup, the bowl, and the paper. a second source of light (same strength as the first one, or slightly less) placed behind the camera and slightly to the left would fill this in nicely. Some shadow is good - it adds depth and contour to the photo - but shots like this need more even lighting i think. Lower light also tends to over saturate reds, so adding some light would be a good thing (and maybe a shift in your white balance...your hands and face look a little on the red side).

You either see the funny side or you don't. I didn't.

very funny! a good composition, and a great idea. i just wish the lighting were a bit better - the man needs a bit more light onhis face, and the background wall corner a bit less.

HAhaha this idea is amusing
Now on other aspects it feels like something can be done with the light.
This doesnt feel very morning like in the sense that morning light is generally very pale, or, if youre in canada as i know you are now, mornings these days are really dark. Then again morning does last till noon, however for some reason i feel like this isnt in the morning jsut because of how grey it is, lack of contrast between what is illuminated and what isnt, it looks like its shot in the afternoon.
Good luck with it though!

I like the idea, but the execution lets this down. The lighting is the main culprit, its a little drab, no zing, like looking through a grey filter.
