 As soon as this challenge popped up on my screen I had this idea. If I had more time I could really work with the concept, but I hope this gets the point across.

My prediction a 5.3XX

Well, I beat my prediction, that was a good thing. Thank you for all of the votes, comments, and most importantly the laughs. It seemed like every comment I read throughout the week had me laughing.

As far as the infamous sink...I rent a house here in Korea. Green sinks are common over here. you hav eno idea the challenges I have when decorating this house. I have purple carpet, and orange coach and almost mustard yellow walls. Look at my weekend challenge photo to get an idea.

Thanks again to everyone, rest assured I will not offer this as a print, and Happy New Year!

 12/27/2007 08:34:18 PM
I think you went a touch overboard on the tonemapping. It's a clever (yet disturbing) idea, but the oddness of the light smoothing kind of takes away from the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/27/2007 06:22:11 PM
OH MY!! Ummmm....thanks for sharing? Entertaining shot although I must admit that the technicals could use some help! Still a fun shot!
