Going For The Brown...Ribbon That Is...

Comment by Paul:
The depleted roll, though aptly supported by a title likely to appeal to the DPC faithful, presents the viewer with a visual metaphor of the current economic climate - depleted and frankly, already down the pan. The roll holder itself, not flush with the wall and looking badly made, offers us great insight; for it, like the world economy, has never really been secure has it? - with this image you show us that while the roll was full of fluffy softness, this fundamental flaw was concealed behind paper.... how clever, the depth of your metaphor reveals the depth of your photography genius - I see it now, the toilet paper analogous with the worthless financial paper which represented so many pyramidal derivatives and hedge fund betting slips. And the final twist, how cleverly you communicate it - we are left knowing, truly knowing, that in the end the roll was bound to run out!

Pure genius! Such vision.........


(......but a crap photo - I give it a 1!)

(Who am I to ruin your bid for the noble brown?!!!)

Well, it would have been better to have it a bit out of focus for the brown...:)

Sorry, your composition is too good and the lighting works. The image is sharp with preserved details. You'll have to work harder than that to get the brown!

I think this is a better photo than you give yourself credit for, I like it. Nice composition and use of negative space. The empty roll also tells a story which we have all experienced at one time or another :( and the B&W works well. Either that or you were being ironic! Good luck whatever your goal for the challenge is!
