Lamp

A nicely taken shot, good composition and I like the blue tones; I'm not sure how a lamp that clearly still works is garbage though.

I very much liked this shot, I prefer it to your outtake, I think you made the right choice. Lovely, soft and feminine, she looked to me like she had tears in her eyes which made it emotional too. Good work.

They came from the outer trash

They look a wee bit like the Smash aliens, lol. Very cute little guys, nice focus and dof, teeny bit grainy but that kinda suits it. I don't quite get the garbage relation though? If you fashioned these guys out of rubbish then you did a great job but it's not really evident if that's the case, they're all too similar, like they were purchased. I might be missing an obvious joke but I can't see the relation to the challenge.

A Gentleman's Regret

Love this idea and it's technically a good shot (nice dof, clear focus, nice tones and light) but the fact that there is still alcohol in the bottle suggests he's not done with it, which means it's not garbage yet. Shame, as otherwise I love the shot; it just really should have been an empty bottle to fit the challenge. The quality of the shot still warrants a 6, I'd have rated higher were it not for the bottle being unfinished.

Very nice DOF, I like the layer of frost, on the neck of the bottle especially. Nice sharp focus, the title is perfect too. Good work.

The muffin survives...

It took me a minute to click that this was a muffin case flattened out, it's not very clear, there's a bit of noise on the subject and the focus isn't very good. I think the shot would have benefitted from being taken a little further out and not so close-in, sometimes being too close without a macro setting makes it difficult to focus too. I do like the muffin smiley face and the plain white background, I think this could have been really cool with a bit more work.

Nature against litter

I quite like the idea. Nice DOF, good vibrancy on the colours, good focus. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the bricks on the wall look a bit odd, almost like they have a cartoony smoothness to them, not sure why that is. I like the shot anyway.

Glamorous Garbage

It's not often I say it but what interesting garbage, haha. Who knew rotten fruit could look so cool! Nice colours and focus. I think your 'set' is an open notebook, very clever; the ring binder along the back doesn't actually majorly bother me but the harsh light in the upper left corner does. I'd have perhaps tried pointing the light source in a different direction.

Voting later.

Earth, Waste and Fire

I like the title. Interesting take, I'd guess you might not be doing too well since it's not a 'literal' image of garbage but pollution is certainly a form of waste, so it fits for me. Love the lighting, the mixture of blue and purple tones is good. My only gripe is that the crop seems a shade too tall, I'd have perhaps tried to shoot from a bit further away in a landscape ratio, or cropped up over some of the puddle.

Voting later.
