nice. i think it'd look more authentic if the papers looked more used, and written on. it looks like it was setup. which most pictures are, but i think that some minor adjustments would make this picture do alot better. good job
Hey... that's an Ikea garbage can, isn't it? I have an identical one in my computer room. I remember buying it right after the last Garbage challenge! I like the shot a lot, by the way... :) - 9
Your set up would have appeared more realistic if there had been some printing or writing on the pieces of paper. The darkness in the bottom corners of the picture seems visually annoying for some reason. It is a good idea for the challenge.
