poor man's solution to lack of lighting ~~> painting with a flashlight!

then :
-some Free Distort & a bit of cloning on the edges to correct perspective (toilet bowl is still shaped a bit funny)
-dodge scrub brush
-burn in some too-bright areas
-Gradient Map for adjusting tonality
-spot editing of reflections on porcelain
-USM.

for the first time in my Photoshop career, I had an eye to my histogram the whole time - heh, I should have figured that one out before.

focal length 22.0mm

Ewww! The worst part of being an Adult. .....Good interpretation. I like the dark affect, really adds to the "feel" of the chore.

Ugh, I don´t know why but this somehow appeals to me, don´t know what that says about me :P

7 from me, the lighting really adds something extra to the shot.
