Far too much Photoshop work on number one. It looks to flat now, the colour has no depth and is oversaturated. Perhaps back off the greens and reds a bit. Reminiscent of 1950's Kodachrome slide film which is a neat effect if after all thats what you were trying to do.
The rest are fair. The windowsill is the better of the bunch.

It's funny you say that...actually #1 has almost no photoshopping done on it...definitely the least of the batch. You're close with the film effect though...it actually should look like Fuji Velvia since I used FM's Velvia Vision on it.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think your specular light works for the set.
Balance seems to be an issue in reference to the negative space you use; 4 and 5 being the best examples of the discordance.

1) is too flat and needs contrast, possibly with monochromatic help.
2) has blown highlights, is kind of boring, and needs to be straightened. To make it more interesting you could have done something with the right half of the frame. The cool thing about specular light is that it's awesome for shadows.
3) is my favorite, but I'd crop the electrical outlet out.
4) is boring. It would have been cooler with a long DoF so you could see the trees and imperfections in the glass.
5) is just boring.

Thanks, this is helpful. I definitely agree about the balance of the negative space thing.

I dig number 3 the most. Agreed, the electrical socket should've been cut out, but it's still a great shot. Number 4 is good as well.

In the space of a smile I found sleep.
