The strong part of this photo is that it is telling us a story. The negative is that I think you have competing focal points in the composition. De-emphasizing the hand in some way might help, or maybe rather the showerhead since the photo is about the singer.

Thanks everyone -- lots of interesting/fun comments!
This one highlights my biggest problem with the set-up: how to shoot at this angle without the camera being right in the stream of water, so I decided the "finalé" would occur just as the person stepped out of the shower.
I agree having a little more arm showing would be good, but this was the best of the lot -- all shot handheld -- that I could get with the showerhead a little in-focus. Low light created the grain to start with, so I just accentuated it -- to me, the effect rather resembles a mezzotint |

| I can't believe the 1's here. Singing in the shower was the first concept that came to my mind with this challenge. I didn't use it because I had no vision of the photo. I think you accomplished it creatively. I can picture the "performer" singing "My Way." Kudos for going outside the box. Grain is just fine for me. |

| May have been implied but I see nothing in the challenge details that would indicate that "live" required having an audience. So the number of 1 votes seems excessive. I thought the concept of this one was rather clever even if I didn't particularly care for the execution. I would like to suggest for a companion shot putting the camera on a tripod in timer mode, using the shower head as a mic, and creating some wicked shampoo horns. |

| While others might object to it, I think the grain in this photo is great. |

| Uhm... I see where you are coming from with the thought, but for me this photo didn't fit as well as the others submitted and personally, I would like this better had it been crisper and more focused. |

| I like this - I think the grainy B&W style works. In terms of fit with "live" music .... it would have helped if we could see a crowd of people gathered around watching and listening to you shower. |

| a topic-stretching picture needs to be superior to pull it off. This is too grainy and out of focus. I get the idea though. |
