Comment by paganini:
the best studio shot i have seen this week, if you can get rid of the shadows on the objects, it'll be even better, but, i like it (10! my new scale, if i like it, you get a 10, otherwise, a 1 but i like it.... paganini)

Excellent original idea. The front of the face has got a slight yellow tint from the light source. Otherwise a very good shot. 8/10

there's quite a contrast with the sharpness of the trash and the face. . .

When I first looked at this, I thought it was a photo of bad breath. lol. your focus and clarity are great. Use of garbage is quite obvious and very creative. The angle and framing/cropping is good, and i like how you have filled the frame of the photo. Nice shot, one of the best this week. Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~

Comment by jsabbarton:
This is a really clever and superbly executed shot. I don't look at titles until I have studied the picture, and I laughed when I saw what you had called it. I realise, from the title, the intent was a play upon talking rubbish, but you might be interested in my first opinion, thus: The sense of projectile movement and the wide, open mouth in the shot carries the message that garbage is the vomit of society; I like the concept, but I think a tastefully positioned bare bottom – whilst more controversial – would have carried the message even betterâ€Â¦ Now you can see why I laughedâ€Â¦ The shot itself is just superb, and even if I could find fault I wouldn't. It has been thought provoking and entertaining for the last twenty minutes. (10) Great photography and inventionâ€Â¦

REALLY LIKE THIS COMMENT ON SMALL TALK...I FEEL THE SAME WAY...I WORK IN A JOB WITH HIGH CUSTOMER CONTACT WHERE WE ARE OFTEN EXPECTED TO TALK TO THE CUSTOMERS AND I FIND MYSELF TO BE REPULSED BY THE SMALL TALK...DON'T KNOW WHY, I JUST DON'T LIKE THE "SO, HOW'S THE WEATHER" FEELING.
