The name of this art photograph is: 'Gold Or No Gold'
This is a highly stylized image of golden excrements which I've found in a toilet. I didn't paint them in gold if that was your first thought. No, I was just lucky to find them lying around my feet as I was about to wash my hands. Whoever did this, has an astounding sense of humour and all praises to him/her. My instant reaction was to take out my camera and take a picture.
The green colour was strong enough, and I actually had to decrease it a bit, while I enhanced the yellow, so to match their mutual balance. The play of light and shade, as well as corner vignette, present green colour through a wide palette of hues. This is creating a very cosy feeling of the subdued atmosphere in this very saturated environment. Top element cuts off the space from the top and closes the composition from that end.
Now, gloves off, to the idea of golden shit... I wonder what it means. I doubt that this was put there out of the blue (or green in this case). So the question remains: why would someone paint the toilet green and put golden turds in there? It must be a statement of some kind and as much as I think about it, nothing special comes to my mind, except that this is how I feel about bot's and troll's comments. They are there but mean absolutely nothing. :D
Sometimes, one just has to accept that there is "l'art pour l'art" artistic style and that elements serve no additional purpose, apart from being there and transforming a toilet into a gallery exhibition area. But, please, surprise me. Some of you sometimes see more things than I can. Be my guests and let me know what could be a deeper meaning of this.
Give me all you got! :D Best comment wins 100% upvote.

My opinion is that this photo can give us an idea of many people. There is such a type of people (some politicians, other figures) who, thanks to the external attributes of the statehood, such as fashionable clothing and status - from the outside, that is, in public before people, they look very beautiful and attractive. They look like something of value to society. Also, the value attached to them by television cameras creates this atmosphere of a relaxing green color (citing you) around them. These people like the "objects" in this photo are in the spotlight :)
Inside, such people are nothing but feces. (I apologize for the sharp expression)
There is such an old saying: "do not touch shit - then it will not stink" - it is applied to people
Thank you

Hahahaha. Very funny indeed. Who isn't tired of bots or trash comments like
Liked and upvoted
Very soon we would have comments like
Resteemed and followed i have even seen one like i followed you now, so return the favour and follow me too 😂😂😂😂😂
They are golden shit actually. I have really studied steemit for sometime and i have noticed a few things.
It should be apparent that you spent time thinking about the comment. The thing is most of us actually believe that the posts are not interesting and are so impatient to read through. I was like that before but changed after i saw a post @velimir posted about "A crack" and the other one was about a strange photography that showed two different perspectives more like a different world from the original picture. It was more like a reflection on a table. These caught my interest and thats where I am today.
There was a comment i read once on a picture @velimir posted and the guy typed that it wasnt real and was staged. But i was like the guy should have appreciated the thoughtfulness and intent study the writer put into the post. I must say that @velimir is talented. Thats a deep thinker we have here. I am not saying anyone here should not interact or air your thoughts or opinions, but If you are going to disagree, please do so in a civilized way, without insulting the author. Atleast read the entire article - don't skim, then start off by explaining what you appreciated the most. Of course, you can start off by thanking the author for a great post. But don’t just stop there – tell the author exactly why it was such a great post by detailing exactly what you appreciated the most in the article. Point out your favorite parts of the article and go a step further by explaining why those particular parts specifically impacted you.
There are some people who don’t even read the post and simply frame their comment on either the title or the thumbnail of the author (oh your bike is so cool, have an upvote!). See, that’s just plain lazy! A hastily written comment can be spotted a mile away by the author, so don’t expect to receive an upvote or any rewards for a “Good post” or “Cool story bro.” Read the entire article so that you’ll know exactly what to comment on!
Even though you have to put in the effort to write a really good, useful comment, this should immediately become natural and a part of your normal day to day routine on Steemit. Commenting should be fun! Especially if you approach it without thinking about upvotes and rewards. If you are wholeheartedly reading posts that you enjoy and directly engaging the authors, then writing candid, thoughtful comments will actually gain you new followers for your own posts and most importantly, you’ll make some awesome friends too!
One more thing, i actually begged for upvotes and i was tired😂😁😁😁. I got non.
Never beg for an upvote or follow. Earn it.
Also on the gold shit, there is this Gold Pill that makes You Poop Glitter ☺, i swear. I saw it on amazons last year and it sold above $400 can you imagine that.
Thanks for the post. I enjoyed as always.

My jaw dropped wide open at first :) I thought someone joked with you and published it on your behalf :)
but laughs aside - this artis is brilliant, not only did the artist make an ordinary toilet booth a "gallery" of art, In a way that makes you shocked, then amused, then interested - he also intends, in my opinion, to deliver a very clear message - once you think about that it might seem obvious :)
My thoughts are based on the book (don't be shocked please -that book really exists, it's philosophy, and it was translated to many languages) "History of Shit" by the French psychoanalyst Dominique Laporte (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Shit):
Laporte claims that the important message isn't about the excrements themselves, it's about our attitude toward it - the shit has transformed from being a stinky, unwanted thing that causes disease and stench and that the society try to hide to something that in modern ages the man has taken the courage to face and conquer the aversion he feels toward it and turn it to his own use - he recycles it and uses it to fertilize his lands, he uses the excretions to produce fuel (google it :) - for him, shit has no smell, it is a tool to make money, and money has no smell.
this art is a metaphor for modern times, an evolvement of the idea we mentioned - it's the embodiment of capitalism - when people have no borders in their way to acquire money and assets and they will do anything for it,things that compare to them excretion recycling might look like nothing, and it became casual - just like the artist chose to put his golden work in an ordinary publish toilet.
This is actually a brilliant work and a gifted artist who wanted to deliver a clear message, that's how I see it :)
thanks velimir - that was extraordinary!

this is a very bold photo and the idea to use the art style "l'art pour l'art" :)
My deepest idea of this photo - These are swindling values (shitty values of modernity)
The main meaning of this is that in our time, there are things that look outwardly defiant, unusual and attract the attention of their golden glitter. Many people create from these things false idols - because of their golden brilliance and popularity. But if you look inside? if you step in this value?
We'll see what they are :)

Oh my god -you didn’t know....
Golden shite is made by the conversion of l-poopanine to oxyacytlgoldalene.
When a strong political figure - like Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger deficates in a public place, the feces are met with the remnants of other less important people’s excrements. These two very different chemical compounds react with each other causing the dominant turd to turn into Pure Gold!
This particular specimen appears to be a low grade state senator poop. Worth only about the equivalent of 2.5 SBD.
Keep your eyes peeled for high quality golden logs.
A Trump turd could be worth millions.

Welcome to the "Art of Shit" ohhhh i mean Art of Gold or No Gold :P
Life is the name of to do something Big! Big in thoughts, Big in approach or Big in Toilet .. Performance does matter a lot wherever you go in whatever situation you are residing. Performance does matter for sure.
In this Goldy Art! some one with big aim rushed towards Toilet (as he was stuck into traffic before ) he was thinking about something very Deep and Big while he sat upon Pot and started thinking about his Big aim. In his childhood he read a story in his text book about the How can you make others impress?
So he concluded By Doing Big Shits in Life I can make myself important
So he put a huge pressure on himself and awarded the Steemians with Gold infact with very BIG PIECES of Gold :P :P
By The way i am bit late but i shared my thoughts upon this great Art of Photography @velimir ;)

The first thought that came in to my mind is that whoever did this is either laughing over the people with huge ego, the people who are acting and thinking their s**t is best or either he/she is one of them. I personally think is the first case scenario and I am admiring his creative way of reminding us that in the little room we are all the same.
