Was trying to come up with an idea for this challenge, bringing the bins in thought maybe the recycle bin could be made to look like it was feeding on recyclable waste.

I thought this was a great idea and I looooved the border. But I gave it a 5 because I felt that you could have backed up just a tad to give some more room to the item going in the can. Funny thing is, I never read the title till now.

I had a little trouble understanding the title, but I think the idea of the recycling bin and the bottle is really good. I like the simplicity of the shot and the clean b&w conversion. The composition is what makes this image special.

Not enough interest created in the picture, and I don't think the b&w really helps - just makes it a bit more bland.

Recycling in action. I like the B/W for the most part. The bottle looks great, the bin lid looks kinda blah. It's all super sharp which looks nice.
