I've never been successful at bouncing, and there were no hot spots, and the whites were so clean... anyway, maybe I just need to shoot in a bathroom to get basic right. Whenever I have a white background and a darker subject, I always seem to need advanced editing to get it to work. White bathrooms, here I come!!

I laughed when I saw this one, I had just told my wife during the submission period that I wanted to take a photo of my foot in the toilet and title it "Red Neck Plunger" but she pooh pooh the idea so I was glad to see someone had a similar idea. Congratulations, fun shot and glad to hear it technically is your foot......haha

So this is what happens when a person goes in after their dropped Iphone:-):-) (You laugh but I know a friend who accidently flushed his phone). Grats on the red- very well done shot and the humor aspect helps catapult this to the top.

Great shot Oliver. Probably the one picture in the challenge I would ever want to see again after voting...

Holy cow, look at all those 'literal challenge' DNMC'er votes. Witch Hunters! No matter how they defend themselves there's no justification for those holier than though votes. It's against the rules to vote this way even if one thinks the image is DQ/DNMC. Submit a ticket but vote as if it's DMC. Photographically it's worth way above average 5 especially for Basic Editing.

"Challenge Rules
You may not:
give an entry a lower score because you believe it violates the Challenge Rules."

WD Oliver. If it wasn't for OOB thinkers we'd still be clubbing each other to death in Pangea over the Thag's.

Best of all you came in 2nd despite all these trolls.

Exactly
