**New Mundane Challenge-Waste paper basket

January 18th, 2016
Well, how wonderful to have won the latest mundane challenge! Thank you to all who voted for my image and to Janet @janetb for hosting.

I now get to choose a mundane object. The list of items already used grows longer. I have had a few ideas but have decided to go with waste paper basket! You know, the kind that sits under your desk, in your bathroom, in your bedroom. The one that overflows with paper and tissues! The one made from plastic, wicker, metal ...

You are free to use any photographic technique you like to capture this everyday object. The main rule: there can be no question that the object of the challenge (in this case, waste paper basket) is the star!

Please feel free to enter as many times as you like, but your entry must be taken within the challenge time frame to be considered a finalist.
If you want, you are encouraged to share entries on this thread to help inspire others and keep it alive! Also, when you post your shot for the challenge, please cut and paste this link to the thread so folk who are new to the site can see how it works.

I'm new to 365. I uploaded a photo for this challenge; but I don't see it with the others. I did put the tag on the photo. Also, how do I post it here as others have?
Thanks

Hi Di
when you add your photo, you need to put the tag against it, in this case mundane-waste-basket. I see you have put a # sign in front of it. Those don't work on this site.

To add it here: Go to your photo in your album. Click on the three small dots (...) next to your favs under the picture. Copy the text under the Embed code. Then come to this thread and paste it into a comment.
