It's hard to make this subject interesting. I'm not sure what would help. Maybe color the water (not yellow), or add a dog trying to get a drink. Keep trying.

I could handle the subject material here, but it's extremely un-interesting. A unique angle... An interesting crop... Cool lighting...If you're gonna shoot a toilet, at least do something diffent with it.

This image is eithe rout of focus, or unsharp. It's also askew which is confusing. There are actually some interesting curves on the bowl if you get a the right perspective.

I'm not quite sure I get this...its new to me too i guess

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean.

Would you believe it is the tilt that killed this photo for me.

I do digress that you have met the challenge to the letter, I am sure. However, it technically isn't that great of a photo of a commode, so I cannot rate it very high. It is crooked and the flash reflection on the seat is distracting.

Nothing wrong with the idea of photographing a toilet. If the idea here was to present it at an angle it was not successful. This just looks like it is not level. Tilting the image closer to 45 degrees would have been a better perspective. A shallower front view with some sexy multicolored women's underwear draped over it would add more interest.

Haha, well I've got to admit that would be something new for me also. I have never taken a photo of a toilet.

Definitely a unique photograph. The angle of the shot, being off-center/tilted adds some interest to this shot.

and the point is...?

I get that this is a place you've never taken photos, etc, but you could have put a bit more thought and care into the composition. This looks like you stood over the toilet and snapped. It's very tilted ,for one thing, and there is zero visual interest. I believe any subject has potential to be a good photo but this isn't showing us a toilet in a new way. We've all seen this view of the loo. I gave it a four.

Next time, try flushing it (with clean water in it) as you take the picture--some neat effects on the water . . . Unfortunately, here a toilet is just a toilet.

I doubt if anyone questions whether this is something new you've never shot before.

Toilets don't make the best photography subjets.

Well I'm sure this meets the challenge (gee two toilet shots in the same challenge), but it's not very creative or aesthetically pleasing. It is at least sharp and exposed well. But not much there for perspective and composition. The other toilet shot is better in that regard (I think)

Horizon isn't level.

slanted, and it would be better if the background floor was a bit more blurred. Everything is in focus.

Looks like a snapshot to me. The flash has left some sharp shadows, and the tiles on the floor are not 'horizontal'.

Too much of a descriptive shot for my taste. 1st the subject is tilted. 2nd there are no colors. There are nothing special in your light and the subject is cropped too tight.

This would be better if the composition was straight.

Very clean toilet-bowl.

I don't get it. Is there a hidden meaning and I'm missing it??
