great find

Looks pretty desolate

Great photo... by far the best so far. The rest are garbage in comparison!

Really nice shot Author.
A little less nice comment from Barracuda, if I may say.

Congrats!

Great!! Congrats!!

A suitable comment to put underneath your image on the wall.

The Plastic Bag.

Years have past and now it grows,
Flourishing where blooms are grey,
Brightening up the hedge rows,
Now seeded and there to stay.

Lasting out the weathers rigour,
In yellows and blues and greens,
Multiplying with utmost vigour,
There's no stopping it, it seems.

Man caused this menace of eruption,
So man can stop its reign,
By preventing its production,
And taking all the blame.

Congratulations on your first first place!!!

not really garbage, just a mess on a surface.

To a degree, it's still garbage.

I agree with Ade on this one

If its not garbage what would you intend on doing with it? Eati it? Do you have a drawer full of pencil shaving's? I would throw it away.

That's why I say to a degree, it's garbage. What else can you do with it? It's just something you commonly throw away. Perhaps a shot of sweeping it into a dustpan would have sealed the garbage classification. But it's still on theme.

I agree jaws.

Even if it's small, I thought everything that would be thrown in the bin was considered as "garbage".

I would think that this definitely falls under the garbage definition as the creator of the contest defined it.

Its a minimalists idea of garbage. But still garbage. I like the simplicity of the shot. good luck!

Congrats! Well Deserved!

Congrats

i like the dof here.
it really works well in grayscale.

Great shot ! Good lock author !

I like this perspective, best of luck author!

Great shot all around!!

In high res, its slightly out of focus, but I think it was because you were more focused on the tree branches that are much closer. They're in focus.

"not something recyclable"

nice find.

Not sure I'd want to stay in a "garbage hotel"

there is a lot of stuff you would not recycle hanging on those walls, the image will be allowed to stay.

Well mod, if you look at it that way, it's already recycled. They turned it into hotel walls. I personally would not want to stay in a hotel of garbage. But to me, even if they Spackled all the garbage to that hotel, it's still one big, ugly pile of garbage. So good call.

Jaw, the hotel is part of a publicity campaign by the environmental group, Save The Beach, to draw attention to the problem of pollution on the coastline.

I agree with jawshoewhah---it already has been recycled so it is no longer garbage
