Now, this is super cool with a very creative use if subject matter. Congratulations on your Yellow.

Creative, unusual, technically excellent. I like the guy with the pop eyes.
However it illustrates very well to me a major problem with our civilization - too much stuff that will eventually get to the landfill or recyclers. Maybe you could do a series and market them to Greenpeace et al.
That personal black note aside, I like the image.

Congratulations on your first ribbon! Finally! After all the attempts and all those challenges you finally have arrived. WAY overdue in my opinion! ;-) Just funnin. Congrats and well done!

Reminds me of my (NON-Ribbon-wining, low scoring) entry in "Busy" challenge. I needed the 10-22 and more perspective then. ;-)


...and I see you found the print of "Corridor Man" in your junk box. ;-)
