The set up of the photo is pretty good - especially the drum and hat. But, this image seems a little fuzzy and the lighting with the sharp shadows is not very flattering to the cool drum. I woudl love to see more detail on the drum - sharpening and improved light might help out.

I totally disagree with daboardgirl. This is the coolest angle I have ever seen used on a toilet. You are obviously creative. I completely enjoyed seeing this shot in the challenge. As for focus, I think the softness lends itself well to the image. Dont get caught up in everything being extra super sharp then neat imaged to death only to take photos to win a ribbon with water droplets or completely set up scenarios that will hit voters over the head with bland two dimensional literal thinking. Keep your funky fun perspective. I look forward to seeing more!

You said you wanted a critique, so here you go! :)

I do like the lighting in this, but I the focus seems a little off. I also am not so sure if I like the angle. At this angle, it seems as if nothing is popping out at me. I just see a big bowl. I think a different angle may serve you well. But, what do I know?!? :)

Overall, good lighting and idea, but try a different angle, and if you want the DPC crowd to vote high, you have to have your focus spot-on. I also have problems with this!

Hopefully that helped,
Leisha
