Spur of the moment picture. Cropped about 15% out. I kinda like it because of the colours, but dang I got some nasty edges around the lid. I had the same problem with the 10 shots I took of this subject (I just shparened it a little bit, too). Time to start shooting in RAW format.

Lovely angle and perspective. your negative space is also quite nice. I love how the red stands out on the blue. With this angle you also keep out anything on the ground that could be distracting, or that would make the photo too busy. At first I didn't like the light glare, but then thought that it might be a bit dull without it, so it's good to have it there, I think. nice shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
I like the red bin against the blue sky. It's a shame that the power lines (or whatever!) are in the bottom left of the shot but maybe you couldn't do anything about that. The litter bin is also ever so slightly off center. 8/10
