First of all thanks to all the contestants, there where more entries than I hoped of, but that also makes it harder to choose.
It's always nice to see that there are so many interpretations of one theme.
The diversity of the entries shows good the idea what I had in mind, thanks for joining!


Third place: Clou, Michael what a wonderful quiet and serene capture you took here, fortunately it's a minimal of garbage, it's obvious that that tire does not belong over there.
But for the picture it's a very well composed eye-catcher, well done.





Second place: ovim, Oula I love this one, it's a powerful picture, strong diagonal, maybe it's not purposeful thrown away but unfortunately lost, but for me it works. Good one!





Winner: casil403, Lisa this is such a brilliant photo, a very good composition, dynamic, tensive, because you only see the arm of the machine there's enough to let your fantasy run.
I also like the B&W conversion, it shows some rest in the chaotic colorful garbage world. Splendid!

Congrats to the top 3!!

casil403, this looks like it belongs in a TERMINATOR movie. Very nicely done.

Again lots of enjoyable variations of garbage but the winner was a clear standout again. Perfect framing and stopping of the motion of the grab. Brilliant take and post process treatment.

Wow...thanks everybody and thanks wllm for judging.
Congrats also to Clou and Oula as well.
I was on holidays and just got back last night so this was a nice surprise.

One thing:
Not sure exactly what my role is for the next weekly challenge...anyone care to enlighten me? Do I pick a theme or judge as I would like to keep the weeklies going.

Lisa:
Go back to the first post for the comp. you just won and copy the post content in to a new thread - renumbering the comp's thread title and create a new theme, editing the post as seems appropriate.

You decide the theme, and you do the judging - the benefit of winning!

[Bramela]

Congrats on three great shots, particularly the winner. I really like the way it portrays something of a monster movie.

You get to set next subject and judge the comp, Lisa.

[casil403]

Okay I can do that. Thanks and thanks again for the kind comments and congrats.
I guess I should wait until Sunday to start or should I start it now? Sorry If it is late and/or I seem a bit daft on this. Still a newbie as to how things work here.
I think I will start it on Sunday so there is a full week for everyone to submit.

Casil,

First a big congratulations, it's a thrill to win one of the contests. Most of the time we just start it up mid week and let it go through the following week. So you could start it now and end the weekend of the 11th.
