Not for boys!!!!!!!!!!

Or am I being se*ist? (Guys comments are, indeed, welcome)

I want some interior design advice that involves photos .....

Im re-decorating my 'smallest room' (i.e. the toilet) and its gonna be white and green. Want black accessories to add pazazz and some of my own art (photos) displayed. Im looking at displaying one of my photos (not yet taken) as the mzaiin feature on one of the walls.

Im wanting a nice shot that will fit nicely with a green/white/black colour theme. Any suggestions of what shot and effect to go for? I'm looking for anything from plants and wildlife to contempory and bazar!

Any ideas welcome.

Cherrs guys

What about a close up of some fern-like foliage just after some rain? Something that says lush green woodland?

I was thinking a bit more of a wider shot, with the blackness of the wood in the bacground. Maybe light the focal point with a flash gun if you have one?

Dont have a flash gun (Sigh...), on my 'to buy' list. I have this as a backup....
Maybe change the hue/saturation and increase the shadows

not much into design but we did our bathroom last summer & the only stipulation I had was a cupboard to hold magazines & booklets.
It's the only room in the house a man can get some peace & quiet, which is why we spend 2 mins using the facilities & 25 mins reading
