Another dumpster shot (see “Netherworld” and “Purple Haze” from the same shoot, and the story of the cops being called on me!). I love the coloring here … flecks of something on the metal that look like a flock of birds heading for home … tall trees, poplars maybe, a purple night sky. Who could dream up such beauty, such a picture from a nasty old dumpster! Shot with Nikon D90 60mm Nikon macro tripod f/3.0 (a mistake!!) and 1/125s 
I love macro abstract work of rejected and neglected items in our society, especially rusty old dumpsters (skips) around the back of buildings, battered boats up on dry dock, rotting wood, bark of trees, and so on. Im fascinated by the color and texture that appears with a macro lens. I do almost no post-processing after taking the shot.

Shame on you Marguerite – this dumpster is an artiste of exceptional subtlety and style “nasty old dumpster” indeed – how ungrateful! Saw the birds as soon as I looked at it. Particularly love this one.
thanks for the visit/comment/fave Geoff. It is unusual for a dumpster, I will say that!
