This was pretty much my very first thought for this challenge but I wasn't sure if I could pull if off in my small barracks room. I think it gives just enough view of the bathroom to work...hope everyone things so too.

Hi Scott, this shot is too funny! I can't believe it did so poorly. Some people just don't have a sense of humor and/or really take the challenge description too literally.

As you can see from here I meant to give you this but I forgot.


how totally cool! Thank you, thank you, thank you, this is awesome.

Thanks for all the comments everyone, I'm glad it made so many laugh...yes this is me, I had to run back and forth to the camera since I don't have a remote. lol I'm sure it would have been quite a scene if anyone had been watching.

in reply to some of the comments...

-the reason there isn't more cereal in the box is because it is supposed to represent that I just got done eating it and that is why I'm now on the toilet.

-I do think the quality could be better, and probably was before I tried to post process it on a monitor that is old and apparently too dark...sorry about that. I was also shooting in a room with fluorescent lights and ugly yellowish walls and couldn't get a pleasent white balance. (wow just looked...21 1 votes? I didn't think it was THAT bad, oh well). With a better quality shot I don't see why a company wouldn't use it in an advertisement, they like humor too, maybe with just a toilet and no one on it would be better.

-Sorry about the distracting Coca-Cola bowl, it's all I had to work with.

On the plus side, my current challenge is only 6 hours old and doing much better than this did.

Not voting just commenting. Nice concept, though it probably does nothing to make the healthy food look appealing. Setup on the shot is nice, could use a bit of contrast.

Now that took GUTS to shoot (no pun intended....well OK maybe a little pun intended)--unfortunately the photo is technically lacking a bit, looks like you might have oversharpened, got some jaggies going on with the red squares on the cereal bowl

creative, but a little gross. haha. I think the pic would be better if the bowl wasn't branded with CocaCola, it's a but distracting

Heh...laughed for a while on this one. Excellent idea, not so great light but the idea makes up for it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/30/2008 01:50:13 PM
appreciate humor but too many distracting elements.
can't see enough cereal, coca cola logo disrupts pattern in bowl, not enough space between cereal box top and frame

gentleman on commode...i don't hate it but think just showing commode inbackground wouldhave been enough

This image is a bit too bright needs more contrast, but I like the humour in the shot.

"...make it look delicious. The photo should be good enough to appear in a health food magazine."
Ask yourself if that is true for your picture.
