 When it is approaching midnight, one makes do with what one can.

Where else to turn in this, the 4th day? Porcelain and chrome, that's where.

Simple, bleak, stark. The makings of B&W.

Pentax-DA 18-55mm, lit with Pentax AF540FGZ flash unit using Lightsphere II diffuser, converted by desaturating and running curves. Sharpened a little. Some cloning because the toilet isn't the cleanest. (I'm a single guy, shoot me.)

We need a toilet challenge!! Haha! Seriously, for part of a toilet this is classy and artistic. You have the contrast just right!

This is actually pretty interesting for such a mundane subject. Little top heavy with all the white, but the chrome bits make for some nice tones and the whole thing has a pleasing minimalist feel to it.

OK, I've never felt compelled to take a photo of a toilet! LOL There are a few spots you missed, I'd clone those out too.

I like the high key look , but the compositon doesn't quite do it for me. I wonder if a pov that makes the main lines on a diagonal would help.

I like the simplicity of this one, and especially like it in black and white.....

You have to jiggle it. ;-P

Chrome & Porcelain work great in BW. I like the DoF with the lid slightly oof. Did you try some different perspectives at it? Could be interesting.
