I like the circular composition very much. Too bad the white envelope is so overpowering. Still an interesting concept strengthened by including the sides of the can.

challenge met - yes
technical - lighting is ok, overall photo looks just a little soft
composition - it's hard to say what to do different since you can't just photograph from any angle inside a trashcan, but i have to admit i'm not overwhelmed by the angle. sorry.

Diet coke and junk food. Funny. What I like here, is that not only is the trash can rusty, but everything inside is almost the same color too. The angle is good, and the focus is also good. LOL, my 2 year old just says "OH NO! There a pop in a garbage!" We have Michigan 10cent refund here, and are always telling him not to put the cans in the garbage. LOL, at least he's learning something. The shot is technically well done, but creativity is low. Unfortunately, there are about 100 shots like this in the challenge. But this one is a bit higher because of the color coordination of your garbage. :) Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

Meets challenge. Soft focus, and colors too similar to give good texture.

Good capture!

Don't people recycle? The "garbage" theme here could also aply to the choice of food... soda, candy, chips and pizza? If this is your can, I hope you take vitamins.

The yellow theme is carried into the trash, though. I like that.

Well, it's definitely garbage. And real garbage, at that ---nothing staged or set up here! The overall yellow cast from the can is not very pleasant. I think better lighting or flash may have given this trash better appeal.

Nice use of color. Did you play with the hue to make it more yellow or is that natural? DPz
