another fine shot John. I didn't vote this challenge, so I didn't see it until now. may I suggest running the water to give the impression of fillin the tub? as always, love the tones in this photo.. it is consistent with your fine work.
I thought that border looked familiar. :) As mentioned below, lighting and contrast of the curtain against the shadows falling just past the subjects knee creates an interesting mood.
There may be other colorful photos, but this one has more meaning and I wanna hop in the tub and have a brew as I am viewing it. Good luck in the voting. 8
Left to right: Tiles: spotless - no esthetic 'tour-de-force'; fixtures - functional Americana; leg - a male's, caucasion between 18 and 35; beer - domestic, but bottled, suggestive of a cultured pedestrianism; hands and manicure - neither a pianist's nor a coachman's; curtain - ornate fabricated lace imitation reminiscent of sea creatures in accesory style.
The lighting in this shot is superb and appropiate like everything else. The curtan alone, with the light on it, provides a repose from the sanitary bathroom idyll. :-)
