Okay, I went for the laugh. We sure appreciate the comfort of tp when we don't have it though! :D I've been on a kick taking photos of very mundane things. I like the look of this one. I know it won't be popular but I hope a few folks appreciate the humour. I tried to make it look nice, also.
In camera b&w setting, EV +1.7, upped the contrast slightly.

Thanks to all who commented and voted generously...;D
I actually like the 'overexposed' window--I think it gives a humourous 'celestial' quality to the toilet paper and I don't think it is important to see my neighbor's house thru the window. Whenever I shoot through a window (which is fairly often since this is a favorite scenario of mine) I bracket and take several photos. Whatever I choose from there is a creative choice. I don't always go for what would be considered the best 'technical' shot.
I shot this in b&w because I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Those who have lived or traveled in countries where this item is absent or not always available know that the comfort it can provide punctually, places it way before sofas, teddy bears, booze, pets and other metaphysical contraptions depicted in this excruciatingly boring inventory of household equipment, photographer progeny and domesticated mammals we were given to review this week.
This bluntly composed image has a nice contemporary feel to it and shows with a real economy of means and no graphic emphasis several basic comfort classics of modern days living.
By far the best image in this challenge (though my judgment is notoriously untrustworthy).
If you plan to ribbon though, find alternative ways of being smart.
Thanks a bunch. I'm actually pleased it did as well as it did considering it has so much that the average DPC voter seems to hate (centered subject, blown-out light, b&W). I thought it was funny for the challenge but I also like the image on it's own merit.
I like this photo, simple, effective, interesting. It lacks something and I just can't see what that something may be ... I'm going with 8 to start. Yes, 8 - final answer for now. I'll have to visit later.
One of the best in the challenge. I like everything aobut this picture from the technical ( wonderful tone on tone and composition) to the feeling it evokes of being comfortable and protected on a yucky day. A 10.
I am marking this one high. The choice of subject matter is so darn GOOD!
Most people don't know the comfort of this until they are caught short.
My kind of 'insightful'! ( I only wish I had thought of this)
