Bek-- thanks so much for checking out my potty humor. Good choice! Always go for the best tread and traction for a clean sweep. I will check back later for your photo. Inspiration is what it is all about. I cannot believe I said that! :)

Thanks, Albert. Glad you enjoyed by Life Choice photo. Looking for more ideas. After choosing a roll of TP and a piece of candy not sure what else is worth choosing.
--Warm regards, Jan

Hi Jan,

I like the subject you chose as well as the way you expressed it. Excellent POV. Great lightfall and colours. Simply a fantastic idea and shot. I am still thinking about the line of shade ? They fit well and quite natural to this image, but I'm wondering what happens when they disappear ?
Compliments for this excellent shot and thanks for sharing.

Greetz,
Albert

Mary-- thanks so much for viewing and commenting. You are so right! The easy reach for some TP is a lot different than most decisions which faces us on a day to day basis.
--Best to you, Jan

If there is gonna be a Usefim Potty Club, you better save both of the rolls for our overflow crowd. Cheers.

Louis-- thanks for commenting. Good choice but did you also consider the tread? Traction is an important component as well as softness.
--Best to you, Jan

Great clarity. The one on the right looks softer. Pass the roll please.

No no no . . . Thanks . . . No "Thinking" required. I meant it only in a good way . . . sanity is sooooooo over-rated! (Believe me - I know)! LoL!

Uhhhhh thanks--- I think.....
It is good to know that there is still an audience for potty humor. However, I think the Acorn photo is a more defintive study on the nuances thereof. Much more subtle.
--Best to you, Jan

Unfortunately the cobs are out of season around our place. It was the tp or the Sears Catalog and Nancy and I have not finished with our Sears Christmas shopping yet.

Well . . . uhhhhh . . . this is certainly unique. Joel's critique was almost spot-on (IMO) so I'll not repeat it. I certainly prefer this to the acorn / turd picture. I love the title. I enjoy the humor. I recognize the unique mind that can conceive of such a thought (borderline deranged - takes one to know one)! LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks, Joel. I agree about the temp; I played wiuth some variations. I will go back to the .psd and look at some adjustments. I also agree that we should have a category or project called "Potty Humor". Would be so much fun but our mates on Usefilm might figure that we don't need any more encouragement!
--Love, Pops

howdy pops..

Ya know... in this case, you can add your choices together, and have a good ol' TP salad.

so... critique's corner... here I go!

I like it! The yellow (please save the potty humor for later) could be pulled out a bit. maybe reduce the temp when you're in RAW edit. What's nice, is that blue in the back top left... pull some of the yellow, and that blue will pop a bit more.

The exposure is great, and perfectly holds the rolls apart from the back wall. One could argue that the blacks in the back wall are little too close to the value in the TP tubes, but that's splittin hairs. The whites are a bit too hot, and from the looks of the image, you may have information in there (that hot area on the shelf between the rolls), if you brought your exposure down.

I do think that Usefilm should add a place for us all to post our potty room pictures. ...and this should be the first award winner! :)

cheers pops!

Thanks, Ali--
It seems like the tp manufacturers in the US spend a lot of time embellishing product to catch consumer attention. We buy whatever is on sale at the time.
