Is it crap? Certainly taken in the crapper anyway :P Come on guys, what do you think. Need feedback and fast too, think about using it in a folder I have to turn in tomorrow for an assignment, is it crap or not?

I'm new to environmental portraiture but would you technically have to 'work/live/play' in a bathroom to call it such? Actually i think those three things cover all the activities that go on in said location! :)

It's crap alright. I find the window very distracting, and the picture is too busy in general. I also don't think that the angle suits it at all.

It seems "forced" to me; it's a "look at me!" picture, and I don't find it especially pleasing.

I quite like this a lot, although I'd prefer to see more DOF, so that the foreground objects are in focus. That way, the whole thing might look a little more confusing, which I like.

I wonder if anybody has gotten it yet that it is taken in a mirror. Now guess where the camera is :)

Of course it's taken in a mirror. Where's the camera? I don't offhand know. Sounds like a trick question :-)

Yeah I just thought it was so obvious and yet noone commented on the mirror part, just maybe thought it was obvious to me cause of the crack in the mirror and the vantage point... Dunno :)
