I think I have bee a little disappointed in some of the comments I have been receiving. I'd much rather see comments that give suggestions or that can tell me what is wrong with the pic. The most common comment this time was that my picture looked Staged. A good majority of the pictures submitted ARE staged, what is the difference between one or the other? Set up lighting, set up background, and set up props, all of which are staged. I tend to use a "portrait" style in my photography. Mainly because i've worked in a portrait studio and that's the first thing that comes to mind, but is portrait photography not photography? I guess I'd like some feed back, and please don't be afraid to be honest! :)

I haven't voted yet but I applaud anyone who takes the time to set-up and "stage" a photograph. No where in our instructions for the garbarge challenge were we told it had to be naturally occuringgarbage :)

I agree. This was not designed to be a "candid" garbage shoot. Bravo to those who had the time, the skill and the desire to stage a good photograph!

Obviously I don't know which photo is yours, smshats, but a voter could have a valid point if it was a photo that looked like it was supposed to be appearing naturally but looked like it was staged (too perfect or objects not placed randomly enough). This is different from a studio shot where it would be very obvious that it was setup. It makes a difference what kind of photograph it is. BTW, my shot is very staged this week.
