I gave this a 9. Seeing how smart the idea and execution is, I now traced the photo to it's owner, and voila - it's you again Robt! I personally think it's a good one. Maybe if the bowl and stuff could be more symmetrical on the vertical, it would be much better. Just my opinion.

Want me to put that out for ya? HeeHee.

I don't think this was that bad. Missed it in the voting but a 6 from me woulda been likely. Mine sucked worse. :)

This is way too funny! Just a thought... It would be less funny but if you cropped just to the edge of the bowl, you'd have something quite abstract.

Ok this either a Slippy shot or dare I say bear_music? Slippy because that's just him to do this kind of thing. Bear on the other hand mentioned something in a thread about getting inspiration and he thinks it's funny. The shot in itself meets the challenge... humorously I would add. I have to compliment the cleanliness of the "throne". If you are neither one of them, rest assured I will "fix" the comment after the challenge. My apologies but thanks for the laugh :)

"Honey? Why is there a candle floating in the toilet?"

There are some drip marks in the back of the toilet that could be either cleaned or cloned-out, as well as a few small specks on the lid. (Though it's still way-cleaner than mine.) I like the little flare on the bottom, maybe that could be brought out by repositioning the camera slightly? Though spending too much time on setup may make family members begin to wonder what's going on in there. Overall, surprisingly photogenic. Perhaps it could be retitled "YYYEEEOOOUUUCCCHHH!!!"? Would like to see more details in the candle--maybe more external lighting would be helpful? 7.

haha! i like how this is a bit humorous & a nice abstract photo. it reminds me of a fried egg. somehow, i have a difficult time imagining the center as a candle.

strange subject which occupies the image well, one notices the lamp very.

This is just great. How in the world did you ever come up with this idea? It is very unique.
