The worst part of this was cleaning the downstairs bathroom!
Shot in B&W, noiseware, USM, curves, cloned out paint spots on the floor (didn't look like paint!)
Postchallenge comments;
This was fun! It did better than expected and it's my highest during-challenge comment count :)
I know the shot suffers flaws. I wanted a straight-on shot but as it was I was holding the camera against the cabinet opposite already. Thank goodness for P&S with swivel screens :D
My lighting is buried atm behind piles of boxes and furniture cleared out of my mom's house and the lamp I tried to use in the bathtub totally refused to cooperate (must be male?). On top of it all, I was on my first full-blown cold-suffering day.
So yup, I'm happy with my finish on this one! Thanks all, for votes and especially your comments :)

I think that I wouldn't have seen so many toilets if the challenge had been "photograph a toilet". Having said that, yours is unique and made me laugh, and it's pretty well photographed. I like the caption too.
Definetly an awesome idea lol. Thank the lord my Girl Friend doesn't care. I think that you could have worked on the lighting so there wasn't so much of a shadow on the right side.
Concept: Common - Execution: Unique Subject: Boring.
Good control of lighting and focus.
Does not compete well with others in this category, but image quality redeems in many ways.
I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall in your household to watch the 'Battle of the Sexes' Final when your other half discovered what you had done in the name of DPC! Nice one...
lol seems you went to alot of work for this. Theres SO many toilet pictures its nice to see one with more thought in it and more work done. The lighting is so-so, the bottom right is too dark. 6 for creativity
