This has got to be the most foul toilet in all of Buffalo. Maybe even the entire state of NY, and I imagine you've got some pretty stiff competition on that one :-) I do like the comment from Santiago, below.
Definitely not a bad photo (pun intended) of what it is. I don't get the feeling you were going for something to hang in a museum, though. 'Course maybe MOMA will accept it.

A great idea here. I love the details in everything, you seemed really to capitalize on the ickyness. Excellent exposure and sharpness. I think the only thing missing is the current perspective. The composition just seems a little uneven. I am not sure how many shots you took, but I think a different angle might have worked better. Nonetheless it is a great shot for the challenge. I gave it a 6 during voting.

This is a little on the gross side but it does meet the challenge well. I gave this a 6 because of it's yuckkiness.

Comment by glad2badad:
Wow! The eyes just grab me and pull me right into this photo. Then I start to wander. Two things keep dragging my eyes away from the face; the lighting in the lower right on the skin makes that area stand out, and secondly ...well, I'm human.

Technically the lighting and exposure are right on. Looking at the eyes it seems that they may be a tad soft and that the sharpest focal plane fell on the front of the headpiece. Not bad soft, just a tad. Compositionally I wonder how this would have done if it was cropped to take some off the right (into the hair a little), and some taken off the bottom (up across the chest, just below the hair). Just some thoughts.

I am surprised that this scored as it did. I would have figured this for a 6 - 6.25. Hard to figure sometimes.

Anyway, smile and keep having fun! :D

If this had a darker background and a little more off-center, it could have been mistaken for one of Librodo's shots.
