the best studio shot i have seen this week, if you can get rid of the shadows on the objects, it'll be even better, but, i like it (10! my new scale, if i like it, you get a 10, otherwise, a 1 but i like it.... paganini)

Excellent original idea. The front of the face has got a slight yellow tint from the light source. Otherwise a very good shot. 8/10

there's quite a contrast with the sharpness of the trash and the face. . .

When I first looked at this, I thought it was a photo of bad breath. lol. your focus and clarity are great. Use of garbage is quite obvious and very creative. The angle and framing/cropping is good, and i like how you have filled the frame of the photo. Nice shot, one of the best this week. Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~

This is a really clever and superbly executed shot. I don't look at titles until I have studied the picture, and I laughed when I saw what you had called it. I realise, from the title, the intent was a play upon talking rubbish, but you might be interested in my first opinion, thus: The sense of projectile movement and the wide, open mouth in the shot carries the message that garbage is the vomit of society; I like the concept, but I think a tastefully positioned bare bottom – whilst more controversial – would have carried the message even betterâ€Â¦ Now you can see why I laughedâ€Â¦ The shot itself is just superb, and even if I could find fault I wouldn't. It has been thought provoking and entertaining for the last twenty minutes. (10) Great photography and inventionâ€Â¦

At least you have your priorities straight. Great photo! Great composition. Well done all the way to the title.

REALLY LIKE THIS COMMENT ON SMALL TALK...I FEEL THE SAME WAY...I WORK IN A JOB WITH HIGH CUSTOMER CONTACT WHERE WE ARE OFTEN EXPECTED TO TALK TO THE CUSTOMERS AND I FIND MYSELF TO BE REPULSED BY THE SMALL TALK...DON'T KNOW WHY, I JUST DON'T LIKE THE "SO, HOW'S THE WEATHER" FEELING.

Cute...clever. Great job.

love the idea. it would've been great if you could make the face sharp too. try getting back a bit. don't use the zomm 'cause it lowers your DOF and use an 8 or 11 aperture. good one.
