    This was a very original idea. The only thing that I didn't like about the piece is that you repeat the images that you use. They are good images, but ...

    Yep, Snoink covered all the bases :) . With the simple thoughts and images that you use in this piece, shorter is better (in my opinion). You have a good ...

    My biggest critique is that you use the name "Tom" at least 13 times in this piece. You could replace more than half of those with pronouns. Also: you start ...
