The second time I've seen this photo in this challenge but I'm not gonna be a nice cuz its a double. Its a very crisp and clean image with amazing detail and I can see you took the time to do that but why wouldn't you take the time to straighten the building??? A 1 or 2 degree CW rotation would have increased the score huge. I'd also suggested darkening the sky a bit to bring out the gold in the top of the building instead of having it look high key or over contrasted (which haoppens with that color sky). I might have also use a brightening tool on the trees to bring out the green more to complete the photo. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <6>

Probably would have scored an <8> had the building been straight. (yes it bothered me that much)

Golden Sands of Time

To me this image is way to over sharpened and has nothing to do with the challenge. The title is the only connection to the challenge and to me thats a little to weak this time. However the image itself is fairly pleasing and if it wasn't so sharp would be something I'd expect to see in a calender or on a wall. The stop motion of the birds is very impressive and goe well against the small cityscape in the background. I also like the way the dock draws your eyes into the photo. Giood luck in this challenge. <5>

I've been avoiding voting on this as it looks to me like a cheap knock off of another DPC member and here's why. The photo itself is OoF and only the gold is highlighted. Had the photo in whole been in focus perhaps it would be a photo that I'd see on a wall somewhere but not as it stands. Good luck in this challenge.

The touch of Mida

I don't get the connection to the title and I've seen a lot of this. Might I suggest the model puts some hand cream on to soften the skin tones up a bit and not look so aged. It also would have taken the high contrast off of the finger. The photo itself has nice choice in DoF and is a fairly interesting photo because the gold appears to be graduated from the tip of the finger to the leaf and so on. Great colors and clarity. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>

Interesting choice in DoF but I would have prefered to see the whole coin in focus and the rest just slightly OoF. Interesting photo tho (I assume its from the land down under) and I do like the clarity and color. It contrasts well against the black background. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <7>

The Golden Child

The problem with this photo is that you put all you eggs in one basket and you apparently should never do that. Excellent choice in DoF and blurr. By far this has to be one of the nicest in the challenge. Excellent colors and clarity and the sharpness is surpasssed by none in this challenge. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <9>

Extremely nice capture but yellow is not gold and therefore DNMC IMO. Nice DoF, excellent colors and clarity.

This DNMC because a watch or time piece is considered jewelry.

Enchanted Forest

lol nice take on this challenge. Very original. I would have liked to see a more of a spot light on the pot of gold which could have been achieved with some smoke of some sort. I also would have like to see the background a little lighter to make the greens pop a little more. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>

Saxual Gold

Brass is not gold and the sax doesn't show up well against the background. No hotspots and excellent clarity but IMO DNMC. <5>
