Sometimes you find inspiration in unexpected places; a toilet in the mens' room for instance The photo was taken with a CoolPix Nikon 950 digital camera under rather flat, dingy artificial light. After a heavy tritone conversion in Photoshop with lots of curves and level adjustments to give the scene some visual interest, I just had to digitally drop a camelia I photographed outdoors into the trough. Although this exercise started-out as a serious composition for a potential client it rapidly degraded into a "just-for-fun" project. The ulitmate questions are whether or not to hit the flush lever and, if you do and regret your rash act, can you recover what you lost.
(By the way, the Nikon 950 is a phenomenal little piece of photographic equipment, irregardless of the thematic content it is obligated to record).
