Aperture: F2.8
ISO: Auto
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Candid, Advertisement

I chose to set the shutter speed manually, but let the camera choose aperture and ISO. A desk lamp was over my right shoulder (as you can see in the reflection), but aimed off subject at 45 degrees.

Would like to have seen a little more of the receptical.

I think you could have cropped better.

Pretty much a true sentiment. The light source has created a hot spot. I would say flash but that is too close to flush and the cards may cause a blockage.

A VERY wise choice!

Safest would be to cut them up first. IMHO you're too close up, it took me too long to figure out what the cards are lying in - I guessed at an ashtray, a plastic tray and a sink before I figured out the meaning of the photo. If I had been busier today, I wouldn't have bothered and rated it very low.

Interesting shot, I like the reflection of the light in the water. on the down side the cards could be focused better.

Technical: Fits the challenge. Looks a little underexposed overall but lighting is too hot on the water and the rightmost card. Diffuser maybe? Composition feels a little too tight on the bowl, took a sec to figure out what it was. Focus is good.

Personal: Creative idea- I hope none of those are real ;-)

My vote: 5

Good detail.
12/03/2003 11:40:07 PM
Agree!!!!

Good idea. But back off a little bit to allow the toilet to be more easily identified.
12/03/2003 08:40:13 PM
Haha funny idea. My main complaint would be the harsh lighting and dull colour of the toilet bowl.
12/03/2003 06:57:15 PM
they would clog the toilet
and make a mess, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but sometime
12/03/2003 03:00:34 PM
Ewwww...now the question is how did you get them out?
12/03/2003 10:31:16 AM
don't think so...
12/03/2003 01:54:12 AM
No, not wise. The toilet will clog and you will have to hire a plumber, which will cost a lot!

This is very creative anyway, but I do have a few nits with the photo itself. Next time try some more interesting lighting; side light would have worked well here. Also, I might have tried some other angles, or at least a different crop; I am not sure the asymmetry works well here.
