I'm sorry but the more I think, the less I understand the point of this photo with the Garbage Theme. 2/10 for framing.

challenge met - somewhat. i wouldn't have thought trash w/out the title and the challenge theme
technical - not great, but probably as good as can be expected shooting through a car window in bad weather
composition - horizon is not level. not sure whether you did that deliberately to give the feeling of the force of the wind, but i personally would prefer it level.

I won't say you're lucky to be able to take a shot like this – we don't usually get much more than brisk breeze here in the UK – but wow, it's excitingâ€Â¦ (10)

It doesn't look very thrashed.

I'd be going the other way. Although I do see your point, I'm not sure exactly what the hurricane is trashing, looks pretty much just like a storm to me. I don't see any trash, and I don't really see anything being trashed. I think that the angle is distracting, having such a right tilt. The water drops make parts of the photo seem out of focus. Don't mean to be picky here, just telling you what I see. Great documentary shot though. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

Without the title, I would not have gotten the message in this photo as you intended.

There is too much to look at here - and not having seen what it was like before, I am not sure that it is trashed. I am glad you were safe enough to submit though. Try looking at one specific subject and the damage that Lily caused it (for instance, the palm trees). (5) Mark Rob
