Nice shot. I can appreciate the high-tones here. It really brings the table and the peels together and unifies the picture.

Would have been interesting to try it without the peeler. The peels and the table itself are interesting enough that they could have worked together.

I like that the table lines are not in-line with the photo, adds interest.

Escape From Turnings Island

You did a good job making this look like a green screen or something. I'm guessing you used a very small aperture to have relatively no depth of field. I think that's the thing this might be missing... depth of field? It has a strange 3D look that tricks the eye. Looks like the island is floating more than sitting on the table.

Good luck!

Very artsy take on the garbage challenge. Technically it's there.

Doesn't really evoke a lot of emotion though. Feels maybe a bit too planned to me personally. It does makes me wonder what the hole is that the picture was taken through. Does a good job focusing on the subject.

I think I understand what your take is here... that it's human trash or garbage. Not exactly meeting the challenge criteria... but interesting.

Might be good for B&W, might be worth over-exposing the majority of the shot to get more detail in the dark pigmented face.

Glad you titled it drainpipe, honestly I almost thought it was rock or some other natural forms. Interesting!

Very nice street shot! The little bit of motion blur is even ideal!

This one confuses me some. I understand lights become garbage, but in it's current state it isn't garbage. Maybe that's the commentary here?

Technically, a good shot.
