Best of a poor bunch from the compact flash, cropped rotated and auto-contrasted. I struggled to get the image that actually fitted my initial thought but that's always the way! I'm not expecting world-beating scores this week...
The thinking behind it : that yesterdays trends (this chappie was the top selling christmas toy in the uk a few years back!) soon get forgotten. Trends say ephemeral to me more than anything else.

I would like to add now, that the alien in question IS my one! So my comment below made Pete laugh rather hard. He wondered that I didn't recognise the bin either!
Well I wasn't home that day so didn't know he'd entered and it just didn't occur to me.
Good news is my little alien is safe and sound by my desk and is NOT trash, and actually Pete loves him too.
A Toy Story alien can NEVER be described as trash! I wonder if this would have made people think a bit more if you had cropped out the context of the trash can on the right perhaps - just leaving the arm hanging out), showing just bits of the alien and the rubbish.
Oh noooo, don't throw him awaaaay.... I had to hide the screen from my own one - he sits on my desk just near my monitor... poor thing...
Great pic and angle but framing is poor - ie positioning of bin/ trash within frame.
Nice picture, but the lighting is slightly harsh, perhaps if you had a second light source on the right to get rid of (or soften) the shadows. Good luck.
