My very first reaction was how disgusting, but, this is an every day scene so 5 on relevance. You made me grimace and say things out loud so a 4 on impact (literally, my face was all scrunched up when I saw this). You've got to be good if you can pee and hold the camera at the same time so 5 on composition. 3s on the others but I could put poor on image quality since it's not free of aberrations...OH my gosh, clean the toilet, that's disgusting. OK, now I'm laughing.

Hummingbird said 525 days ago:

This is not a scene from life, but I guess it would be from my husband's.

Tanja said 525 days ago:

*i will never ever use that bathroom at your house.. ;)

Ana said 525 days ago:

an all new low. can't say it's not relevant, though.

ChriZ said 525 days ago:

Kim, I'm happy I made you laugh, I was totally satisfied with the idea and the scene of this shot, but still I would have liked to have reshot this, getting a better lighting, align my feet a bit better. I just wasn't really in the mood of drinking 3 bottles of beer and then doing different stuff in context with that toilet! =)
And this shot wouldn't be half of what it is with a clean toilet!

Hummingbird, it sure is!

Tanja, ...no Guests in here!

Ana, what do you mean with "an all new low"?

Thank for the comments!

beckn32 said 525 days ago:

Your right ChriZ, if the potty were clean, how would be rate it then? Impact would probably go way down because the grimace would be just a half grimace instead of a full out ewwwww :o) At first I wanted to be offended, but then I pulled back and decided being open minded is always a good thing. You still need to clean the toilet though. hehe.

ChriZ said 525 days ago:

If I clean it tomorrow, I'll have to clean it again day after tomorrow, so I'll just wait until then! Jup, my strategy!

Nick said 525 days ago:

Remember to flush!

Flatline said 525 days ago:

Good Lord, I hope you used a camera strap.

...and that rim won't suffer from a daily wipe-down. Hope that's not your house...

Composition is good, but it is over-exposed due to the extreme white in the center vs. the black shoes and dark objects. Wedding photoghraphers know a lot about exposing a subject this bright next to one wearing something dark...

Fill the cup please.
Gross,wish I thought of it first.

mysight said 525 days ago:

Don't forget to put the lid down!

eggplant said 525 days ago:

I guess that happens everyday, for sure.

eggplant said 525 days ago:

...and, on further inspection, the state of the toilet certainly adds to the compelling everyday-ness of the monotony that is our stuff-in/stuff-out lives.

CraigMartin said 525 days ago:

Crude for the sake of it?

Lange said 525 days ago:

Hah. A surprise for sure. While perhaps in questionable taste as an image, it does fit the theme. As a photograph the image is a bit dark other than the toilet. It feels like a "snapshot" and not an "artistic" photograph.

keynesiandream said 525 days ago:

I love this shot just for the humanity aspect, no matter how divine some of us retend to be at the end of the day ...

MacroManiac said 525 days ago:

Initially thought 'What the' but it certainly depicts an everday event. Like the interpretation

Haiete said 525 days ago:

Good technique; I mean photographic and just every day little precious skills involved. You really nailed it there ( and these last words have a double meaning too :-)). My only issue here: if that's your house, then you need to hire a cleaning person ! High marks...

Wint3r said 525 days ago:

Certainly something most people see/do every day, but...

Montage said 525 days ago:

Hahahaha! That's awesome :)

omega said 525 days ago:

best one ;)

mtmartini said 525 days ago:

Someone needs a maid.

kadenajack said 525 days ago:

Bravo! I see this scene many times in my life.

mysight said 525 days ago:

This gives me an idea for a theme,but the men would have an advantage.
"Where have you gone?"

martylavender said 525 days ago:

While completely relevant...I dont think...well it doesnt matter what I think. High marks, as bizzare as it is!

smudo said 524 days ago:

an everyday scene alright...

zulu said 524 days ago:

The daily business...relevance yap, but I am happy when I switch to the next picture...

simpfan742 said 524 days ago:

Glad you chose to crop... high marks from me! Unique.

Ana said 524 days ago:

oh goody. exactly what I want to see every time I open up WS..

ChriZ said 524 days ago:

Thank you all for the feature, and especially for the comments. I love to read the reactions of you guys, amusing.
I haven't been very active lately and won't be in future, I just wanted to pop in and say hi again,... HI!
Ana, if you want you can order a print, I'll give you a special discount if you buy it together with the "PITA" shot!

Cheers
