Day 2 - "Pottery Bin"


Rubbish bins don't have to be really ugly. OK, they're never going to be pretty, but a lot can be done to make them more asthetically pleasing. This one was on the wall of the Weatheriggs pottery near Penrith. I liked the way the wire mesh echoed the geometry of the wonderful red brick work. Also, if you look at the large version of the photo, you can see the rust of the wire neatly complements the red brick. I love seeing details like that in my photographs (even when I didn't notice them at the time!)

I like the composition of the whole thing a lot. However I really am left wishing that the whole thing had more grit/grunge look to it. But that could really just be me :)

I'm with Nick that this is great, but a bit of contrast would make it really pop!
