This is a very nice capture. The yellow yells at the viewer, "here's the subject!". This is a picture that can tell the story without words. Thanks for posting, now in my favs.

Give a Hoot

As-is your shot looks more like a snapshot, sorry. A little more creativity would have made the photo score higher IMO. Such as adding an element of someone placing recyclables into the dumpster and a different POV. Wish you well in the challenge.

EDIT to ADD: Photographer pm'ed me after the challenge and asked in a kind manner why I felt like this photo looked like a snapshot. I defended my comment and we had a nice dialogue with each other. I have looked at this photo throughout today studying everything and have come to the conclusion that it does NOT warrant being classified as a snapshot.

I apologize if I offended the photograph with my statement. The remainder of my comment I still standby.

Blackbox thank for the PM you sent and hope you accept my apology. You are a good photographer and it was nice speaking with you through PM.

Regreening urban waste land one lot at a time

Comment:
IMO I think a wider view of the lot being used as a garden within an urban setting would have had more of an impact. Good concept.

Polyethylene Terephthalate

Comment:
Very abstract and has a large blown out area. I can clearly see the recycle symbol. IMO I think the photograph could have been taken from a different POV to become more pleasing to the eye. Good focus on the logo. I wish you the best in the challenge.

Ahhh, one of the new 30% less plastic bottles. I can see how it fits the challenge. Nice DOF, focus, and lighting. Colors are nice.

Nice motion shot that fits well. The clothing makes this a believable shot. "Man rides to work on bike", yea good capture.

Green Energy

Nice color, focus, and lighting. Good photograph that meets the challenge. If I had to pick on one thing it would have to be the ground, I would of liked to have seen a little more in the picture. The green against the blue is visually pleasing. Good Shot.

Keeping The Planet Fresh

With potting soil and more flowers the shot would have been better IMO. I don't know if the venting really help the photograph. Wish you well in the challenge.

Its art because he's an artist

Comment:
I understand the concept behind the picture but it's hard to get a visual bearing on the photo. I guess because it is so busy. A lot to see and fun to look at though.

Interesting take on the challenge. I wish his clothing would or could have be straightened up and the black object in front of his had is distracting. I wish you well in the challenge.
