 Thanks for all the nice comments. I am pleased to be top 10!

The difficulty with this shot was not getting the bath tub into location, be re-installing it afterwards.

Not really - the bath tub was found on location. I had to move it 3 or 4 yards, to be in the light pool, and away from the various parked cars outside the frame (the location is the garage area I use). Only had a minute or two, but happened to have my tripod etc with me for a long exposure. But for time, I might have gone back to re-shoot with the bath a bit further forward and to the left.

Post processing was adopting the blue channel for b&w exposure, and touching up a couple of spots of dirt and dust. No dodge or burn (didn't really think to do that). Bit of selective sharpening and blurring to get the quality right at low res.

Thanks again.

M

Everything but the kitchen sink.. err.. I mean - bathtub? Very nice - did you just stumble across this.. or did you happen to actually tow this brand new bathtub down there?

Great concept and execution!!! the composition works well although placing the tub away from the center might create more eye movement for the viewer. Well done and nice contrast!!

Nice B/W. I like how you left a lot of room on the bottom to allow 'room' for the bathtub.

nice mood. i really like that strong shadow cutting across the frame. perhaps just a bit too much on the left as that left column steals some unwarranted attention and messes with some really nice balance i feel without it.

Abstract, I like it! Nice contrast and B&W work. The composition is a little centered for my taste but in this shot it kinda works.
