Challenge: The Corporate World (Classic Editing)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix 1400
Location: The Sewer Ponds in my home town.
Date: Jul 24, 2002
Aperture: F9.5
ISO: 125
Shutter: 1/60
Date Uploaded: Jul 26, 2002

Besides this being a hilarious oxymoron, I felt it was an appropriate analogy of the scandal recently uncovered in the Corporate World. I realize this lacks visual beauty.
The photo was taken in bright sunlight, then Auto Contrast was applied, it was lightened under variations, resized, saved to .jpg and sharpened big time.

I suppose it would have been hard to make this more interesting. Possibly a strong light or some reflection.

Good use of humor. I think an angle other than straight would have made it more interesting. karmat

Could you have rotated it right a little to correct the slant? Nice observation though

Good picture...my eyes find lots of little nooks and crannies. This is clearly metallica yet there are no glaring hot spots, but the lighting is good. I have to laugh too over the oxymoron here. Making a person laugh with a photograph is a great thing to do. I'm giving you a "9" Gracious
P.S. I changed my mind..."10"

Good title.

That is funny! Thanks for the laugh.

Great photo of a man-hole cover. I do get the title/joke, but it's still a very loose connection to the challenge, in my view. To me the two words on the cover are very oxymoronic, like Military Intelligence, that sort of thing. Visually, I don't see all that much wrong with this photo, except that beauty type appeal (none existant). 5 Swash

Seems a little "sharpened" to me. Not sure the original focus was so good. Nice contrasts but not overly interesting.

grate shot...I suppose you'll get a few of these puns, nice detail although odd labelling on this item - sanitary means clean/hygienic which some of these corporations certainly aint! - 8

Is it straight or are my eyes off? It is so close to straight that it ought to be perfest.

This is stretching it. You meant this in a very negative way but one could argue that sanitary sewers are very beneficial to us and therefore corporations....
Not a lot of visual impact here.

I'm iffy on whether it meets the challenge. I actually like the texture and the diamond pattern in the shot. lhall

I think I get it, but I still don't really like it. This seems a bit flat, and I have to stretch to fit.
