Um Floyd. Are you trying to get a DPC record of having the most browns? :P
At least capture the whole bowl man! LOL! |

| Come on, if you are going to shoot a toilet, and have a bunch of empty wall above the thing, you can't lop off the front of the bowl by sloppy framing. |

Well, you're probably getting hammered in the voting on this one. Not necessarily a bad thing in this case, depending on what you were going for. If this is just a lame attempt at pre-pubescent humor...try growing up. But...if you actually thought this one out, and were trying to invoke a reaction from the viewer, than a gleaming success. You caught my attention. An extremely negative gut reaction, but a strong reaction none the less. A bowl full of stale piss, very high on my list of disgusting things :-) On the technical side, perhaps the presentation could be a little stronger. The point of view not to bad, a bit mundane, but it is relatable. I don't like how the front of the bowl is cut off though. And there does seem to be just a bit of a clockwise skew to the image. It is very slight, but I think to play on the symmetry in the shot, care should be taken to be dead on, especially for a square crop. Lighting seems to be a tad harsh, like maybe you used on board flash? If so, perhaps diffusing it some could help. The whites of the bowl just come across a little too harsh, on the verge of being blown out, and heavy shadows at the top of the image from the acute angle. Focus does seem like it could be a little sharper. And maybe a smaller aperture to increase dof could make a little difference.
Overall, not very appealing to me personally, subject matter wise, but it does invoke a strong reaction. Like 'Ewww!!!' And technically, not horrible, but could definitely be stronger. And like I said, if a shot at the brown, or 'potty' humor, then I'm just not diggin' it. Might be different without the stale piss. Best of luck. |

| Who forgot to flush is the question! Not sure about this one. I like the humor factor so I'll give you that. I think you should have framed the whole bowl in the shot, yea that would help this out a lot. Good luck. |

| I think what might help this image's aPEEal is to perhaps center it a bit and include the entire toilet. Stand on a chair or something and shoot downward. The colors are nice. |

you should be asking, who forgot to flush the loo! lol.
Good for laughs :)
update: I find the darkened areas on the top portion very nice, making this toilet seemingly artsy. The bowl's whites appears a tiny bit over exposed, but hey, it works in this high-contrasty shot.

| Gross. Disgusting. Humor? And on a technical note, the falloff of lighting on the top 1/4 of the photo leaves much to be desired. |

| cropping the bottom off the toilet doesn't work, the lighting isn't very good either - I take it you used the flash? Flashes don't tend to look good in confined spaces. |

| Who cares about the seat? Looks like a sanitation concern to me. It may add color to the image, but it doesn't make me want it on my wall. |
