Commentary: I wish to thank all of you who commented on 1-800-424-LEAD, as it is not an easy task to find complimentary words when it comes to refuse.
Though we are still on the subject of recycled paint cans, this image is a one of a thousand, a term originating from the movie Winchester 73, 1950, in which James Stewart tries to win a rifle that is considered perfect.
In relationship to this image, I use the term one of a thousand, believing that this photograph, which in some ways resembles the artist Jackson Pollock’s 1950 painting ‘ Lavender Mist’ contains properties of perfection as an abstract.
If the photograph were enlarged and printed to be 6 x 9 feet (1.8288 x 2.7432 m) or even larger and displayed in a huge room where it would be given ample space to breath, the impact upon the viewer would be commanding.
Currently I am in the middle of working on five large oil paintings on canvas, as I find myself in a flurry of creativity, but I shall look in on your gallery before my next upload.
Please recycle, it works!

You know, I must say Egmont, that you have a true talent, as you continue to exhibit time and time again. Taking something like "trash" (something with a negative connotation) and turning it into such a masterful piece of artwork--exceptional. This is an incredible abstract image. The whole series is sensational, but I must say I like this one very much. The textures and the lighting are just perfect to bring out the shades, tones and very mood of this piece of artwork. You have a very special way with the camera, my friend. Thank you for this!

Fasinating how some junk can turn into art. When I first looked at it I couldn't figure out what it was a photograph off. Making it very abstract. Having to read the title on the picture to really understand what it really is. But it shure looks nice. Taking in the enviroment and how those junk are disposed by being pressed together. Many things can be read into the picture. It can be waste management or pollution, recycling or how much we really consume in this world. Never done any photowork myself. Only borrowed my brothers camera when traveling to france o get a feel of how it was there.
