Did stuff with cropping, some color adjustments to get rid of a horrid yellow sheen (though mornings do have a sort of icky shade of yellowness to them, don't they?), and a bit of sharpening. That's it.

Mornings to me are just reluctant and practical. At least on weekdays. Weekends are a totally different story.

In case you're interested, and actually I hope you're not, my toilet has this annoying tendency to only half-finish its duties. It flushes, but then it doesn't plug itself, and you have to do that manually. I'm not a handyman, so I just put up with it.

Can we change the subject please?

I think you had the right concept going here but the color scheme in the room doesn't really enhance the subject. These are merely suggestions from an ameteur so take them for what they are worth.

1) The angle of the phot comes off titled and makes you want to turn your head to get things in alignment. Might suggest a different crop and rotation.

2) The colors are all very neutral. I can see just on the right bottom edge that something had some yellow and reds and those colors would have been a nice addition. Right now everything gets lost as there is no color contrast.

3) Not sure (or at least not positive) that the title is conveying what you want to convey. It is probably, "First things first" from the aspect of time to hit the commode upon waking. But, with the bath products barely visible in the bottom right, it could be that you want to emphasize that you neeed to wash hands, put on deodorant, or brush teeth first.

As stated above, I think you were on to the right idea, it just did not come off, to me, in the best fashion this time.

Anyway, I hope at least a little of this above is useful.

Get the message. I can't really tell you how, but the idea could be improved to make a better photo.

Strange angle but given the title it works as it does draw attention to the toilet. It may have helped to get in a little bit tighter on it however.

Intersting angle, but the sink is a bit distracting.
