 I saw this kind of weird person sitting at a bus stop, and snapped away. I had intended to use the Miracle of Photoshop to get rid of the trash bin, but when I worked with the shot for awhile, it became obvious to me that that isn't a trash bin. It's something alien from Outer Space and this may be the only picture of it. So I left it there.

Love the composition of this one, including the trash bin, has a nice feel to it.

So glad you left it in! Otherwise it would just be a picture of a boy at a bus stop... : )

The trash bin reminds me of a Dalek! I think the trash bin actually makes the shot really interesting, it's like it's sitting there next to the guy and they're both waiting for something.

Great narrative. I think you might be right about the trash bin! Otherwise, nice arrangement of elements and natural framing.

I think they are both aliens, and the 'boy' on the right is downloading his new instructions. REally though, this is a very nice image. T.

I love the starkness of the image and agree that the alien contraption definitely had to stay.

What a beautifully ominous scene.

Oh yes. That creature definitely needs to be in the picture. And both the creature and the person need to be aware that the plant creeping down that wall is about to swallow them both whole!
