Hello from the Critique Club!

I think this was a great idea for the challenge. I also think that a little more attention to set up and details might have made this more appealing.

For what it's worth, here are the things I think I would have considered doing differently.

In this instance, I think simple is best. The large sign, the pattern of whatever that is behind the sink, the dirtiness of the sink and clogs, and the out of focus foreground all seem to distract from the message of the pun in the photo. I would concentrate more on shooting at a different angle...perhaps more straight down toward the bowl of the sink to avoid the front lip and the background as much. It would help if the shoes had some color, but since they don't, I might think about changing this photo to a black and white shot.

A smaller sign, some clean up of the shoes and sink and a bit of shine on the faucet would bring more eye appeal and clean lines to the shot I think.

I think it was a great idea, and to me that's the hardest part to get right! I hope this is helpful.

Thanks everyone. It made me laugh too. I think I will keep trying and maybe be on the first page of results someday.

Came back to this one...originally rated it a 7...but since it made me laugh so hard you get a 10 from me.

would love this without the sign, and framed to just above the faucet. Fun idea, great creative

This is a great idea, nicely shot and great focus. only change I would do is to have made the sign much smaller and to the side. It rather overwhelms the scene.
