light from two 100 watt bulbs and a couple of home-made diffusers

OK - Post challenge:
I appreciate all the comments, and even agree that there are issues with this shot. But I stand by my earlier conviction that I really like this shot. It depicts exactly how I feel on many mornings. The harsh light and over-bright colors are what my head feels when that stupid bathroom light first comes on - and continues until the coffee is made and inside me.

It's not very good, but it's very true...

I obviously agree with your interpretation of mornings - I gave this a 7. Nice job, especially with the slow shutter speed. And this is one of those shots where "blown" most definitely works.

You could take the reflected portion of this photo, invert it and use it for a creepy halloween photo.

The pose seems strange and out of place. In general the photo is blown out and looks over processed.

Too overexposed or saturated or whatever. Just.. too much
