this is where i used to attain much relief. i had seen this scene in my mind's eye for a long time, before i had the opportunity (and courage) to shoot this. the session was abruptly ended when someone came in and gave me this knowing smile...

Here's another shot, which would fit what Skorj prefers:

"(I would have gone with an even tighter crop myself. Little if any pipework, and just tiles and bowls. This would have further increased the subject's ambiguity.)"

i chose to post the original precisely because it is more recognisable than this one, as well as its better composition (IMO) despite the slight tilt. but i guess the beauty of photography lies partly in its subjectivity.
