Wanted to take a photo of the toilet. Thought it would be more interesting with someone on it. Well my lack of having models around I resorted to me and a 10 second timer. I want this to be a reminder that we all sometimes take this place (DPC) and photography to seriously. We all just need to relax and have fun and that is what this photo represents to me.

I think this is perfect and can't believe all the low scores you got. I was not able to vote this challenge but you would have gotten at least a 9 from me. Humor, motion blur, B&W, good lighting, well focused and composed, what more could anyone ask for?! The fact that this got a 4.6 shows me to take all scores here with a grain of salt. Please continue, damn the voters!
The toning is nice, and the composition "inviting." The reading material is a bit low brow, but I really like the BASIC label on the shorts showing, as it gives a nice allusion to the basic activity being performed, as well as the basic processing that clearly had been done here. Must be nice to have a window in that room, as I'm sure it would provide enough illumination during the day. The socks clinch it.
lol, nicely positioned shirt :P I expect this will get a lot of low votes due to its subject matter, but I think it's actually a pretty good photo. The composition, and contrast are very good. I also very much like the motion blur on the magazine. Makes it look like you've been stuck in there a long time :P was it something you ate? hehe :)
