I knew this would garner a lot of DNMC votes - and you have all the rights to do so. Actually, it is my left foot, not the one attached to my limb, though, but since I am in possession of this mannequins leg, I thought I could say so and sacrificed literality for creativity.
@ Katie: I'm the one who keeps the bathroom clean. Actually, I tried to add some grunge with NikViveza because it looked too clean and I didn't want to have to submit proof :)
Someone asked for validation, anyway - did you really think it was my real leg and I had cloned out the rest of my body or what was it? Just out of curiosity...

My brother was out for a visit while I was viewing these "foot" images. He was just casually looking over my shoulder but soon found himself sitting next to me and laughing along at some of the more creative entries in this challenge. I think he laughed the hardest at this one, so did I (we also had a few ewwww moments lol). Great job, and congratulations! Now I gotta go clean the tub....
Must that really be discussed here? I was aware of being DNMCed as I already stated in the comments section.
Regarding basic editing and lighting: Where's the difficulty here? One flash bounced of the ceiling, slightly underexposed; basically only WB correction and exposure/contrast adjustments in LR.
I've never been successful at bouncing, and there were no hot spots, and the whites were so clean... anyway, maybe I just need to shoot in a bathroom to get basic right. Whenever I have a white background and a darker subject, I always seem to need advanced editing to get it to work. White bathrooms, here I come!!

I laughed when I saw this one, I had just told my wife during the submission period that I wanted to take a photo of my foot in the toilet and title it "Red Neck Plunger" but she pooh pooh the idea so I was glad to see someone had a similar idea. Congratulations, fun shot and glad to hear it technically is your foot......haha
So this is what happens when a person goes in after their dropped Iphone:-):-) (You laugh but I know a friend who accidently flushed his phone). Grats on the red- very well done shot and the humor aspect helps catapult this to the top.
Holy cow, look at all those 'literal challenge' DNMC'er votes. Witch Hunters! No matter how they defend themselves there's no justification for those holier than though votes. It's against the rules to vote this way even if one thinks the image is DQ/DNMC. Submit a ticket but vote as if it's DMC. Photographically it's worth way above average 5 especially for Basic Editing.

WD Oliver. If it wasn't for OOB thinkers we'd still be clubbing each other to death in Pangea over the Thag's.
Best of all you came in 2nd despite all these trolls.

Great work oliver, one of my top two picks of the challenge. I was SERIOUSLY hoping you'd drilled a big hole in the toilet and stuck your leg through. You'd have had the option to get a 12! :) congrats
As I said before the beginning of the challenge, it doesn't matter if it was your foot or not. Therefore it deserved the ribbon... it's a great shot, my favorite in this challenge!
so i was thinking through this and noted it was validated, first thought was long exposure with lens cap on and off for the two exposures, then i thought about a display bathroom in a shop but still the toilet opening wouldn't be wide enough for a leg, so then i thought maybe manaquin/prosthetic leg, intrigued to find out how it was done, 8
Don't know what to do with this one... It's a great shot, and it's awesome for basic editing. But how can it be your left foot? Not voting right now, because I don't want to DNMC if I'm missing something.
Although the rules say left foot no other parts... this is Brillant! I keep going back and laughing my backside off at this!!! I think if you had cut the leg off and just stuck the ankle foot up this would have WON hands down!! Not votieng because I have one in here, but If I was this would be my pick for #1 leg or no!!! I hate you for the prestine white Super clean bathroom.... (or your wife) LOL
Probably the best shot in the challenge, but I'm not exectly convinced this is your left foot... unless you have a prosthetic leg... which is entirely possible of course, so I can't really declare this as DNMC. So therefore, 10!
I have to say that this is one the favorites. The challenge never said that a prosthesis couldn't be included. And a prosthesis is just as good as any leg. Great job and imagination.
Very comic. Particularly like the odd pants with knee patch. Where the hell is his right leg or he is the one legged Plumber? Glad there's no plumbers crack to go with the shot. Major pro lighting/PP for basic.
