Nice exposure, but what throws it off for me is that his arm is coming down from above, which makes it look he's standing next to the alarm clock, rather than sleeping next to it (and hating to hear it go off), in which case the arm would have been on the same plane or slightly below the clock. Maybe a shot with the arm extending out from just under the lens towards the clock would have worked better.

Oh i feel the same exact way! I think maybe you should have done something more with this photo and the colors aren't really up to standards.

A more realistic background would have looked much nicer.

Nice, clear, and sharp. However, the only thing I might suggest changing is adding a few more elements to the picture, such as putting a lamp in the background, or the clock on a nightstand. It seems a bit odd to have everything floating in mid-air! But everythign else is wonderful. :)
