 Expressing a sentiment with this shot.

Not expecting a high score for this entry, but getting a bunch of comments off this one would be nice.

Post challenge notes:
Not a high scoring shot. I think I had a great idea, but rushed it at the last minute before the sun went down the last day of the submission period.

Got a lot of great comments letting me know that for the most part, I got my point across. I think one of the best comments was from Kwilson10 who said this made him a bit angry. I didn't expect everybody to agree with the expressed sentiment, but it lets me know I did get my message across!

...and a Posthumous ribbon on top of that!

all kinds of symbolic weight going on here: wall, tv, trash... nature and freedom exist only in reflection... great composition, too. This ties for my yellow.

I'm not sure how this is peaceful. But the contrast is well done.

I think a slightly smaller crop would have been more effective here.

Nice idea, I think it may have worked a little better with more of a reflection in the tv of trees and things and slightly less of the bin

I got it instantly. My wife watches TV with headphones because I can't stand listening to the sound. But image of TV sets in garbage cans do not evoke much of a feeling of peace in me.

if the box had some shine to it like the TV this would have been a much stronger image
