10th Place
Bad Breath

Fact or Fiction:
57.5% of the population forget to replace their "empty" tooth paste tube at the right time and keep squeezing it to get the last dab out. This is reported as one of the main causes of bad breath.

I have never managed to get such a total consumption of a toothpaste :-) Nice capture.

Thanks you all for so many +ve comments... Vikas, mints in the car is a great thing :) Nico, I did notice the shadow... but did care much about it. Including it would have changed the crop for the shot, the corner light fall off was intentional and that was the way it was lit, and not added later. Sam and Nugar, Yes, its plastic. If the tube does not stay the way you want, keep it in the fridge, plastic hardens when cold. -Cat

Cat, I echo Sam's question, how did you get the tube to remain in that position? It is plastic, right?

Excellent idea, well-done. --Melanie

Such a simple idea and very effective. Like this a lot.

How do you get your tube to zigzag like this. Mine never stays, very frustrating! Oh, BTW, great image :) Sam Attal.

Super take on the theme. This definitely shouts "empty!" The directional lighting produced interesting shadows. If I may offer two small questions (which should not detract from the fact that I like this a lot!), it would be that I wondered if you should not have cropped wider on the left, so as to retain the whole shadow of the cap, and that I wondered whether the vignetting top-right was added (or left in) on purpose? Compliments and regards ~jnconradie

That's about what my toothpaste tube looks like now. Why didn't I think of this? Great shot and I like the composition, lighting and color. CJ

Thank you Vikas, Lee, Lonnit and Nugar! I appreciate your comments very much! -Cat

I like the PP you've done with this and the next photos. Very contrasty.

Nice treatment to these two. theFly

:-) Great shot and yes I do sometimes 'forget' too. :-) But thankfully never been accused of bad breath.... Mints in the car rule! ;-) Cheers, Vikas.
