Taken from the parking lot of Lowe's in Brooklyn. The Gowanus Expressway is the background road, a local scrapyard just across the Goranus Canal is in the foreground.

What a great politically charged photo. How long did you have to wait before a truck with American passed by? I would send this one in to an editorial or something. What a marvelous commentary.
Fits challenge= 5

Wow factor/Attractiveness= 1-for message in it
Great message in there but I'm sure some argue that they only understood it cause of the title and the picture should speak for itself. The lighting on the trash itself is good but major overexposure above it, maybe a reading somewhere in between would have helped or maybe adust curves afterwards.
Very thought provoking!...To hell in a handbasket we all are a heading...or am I reading too much into this... I hope not...it's refreshing to see an image that says something.
Not a pretty sight, but the photo makes a great statement. Well done to catch the truck in the background too. The wide dof works really well with the background haze.
