This challenge narrowly calls for a representation of "material" wealth. This does not seem to meet the challenge. Cutie bug, though.

I'm back. I reconsidered and liberalized my take on the instructions. Bumping score. Photo is a bit dark, though, and a little soft.

Beautiful, and better than money, but, this challenge specifically called for a representation of "material wealth." Check the full instructions again.

Reconsidered and liberalized my interpreation of "material wealth" and no longer see it as an economic thing only. Bumping score. Photo has a nice mood. Reads a bit soft, though.

Neat compositon, but, the challenge specifically called for a representation of "material wealth." Re-check the full instructions.

Mea culpa here. Changed my opinion of "Material wealth"...it doesn't have to only refer to economics. That said, I love the line and positioning within the frame. Lighting is nice...like the shadows around his musculature. Wish it were a little sharper, though.

This ia a wonderful kind of wealth, I agree, but the challenge specifically called for material wealth so I can't give as many points as I'd like. Nice line, though.

Mea culpa here. Changed my opinion. "Material wealth" doesn't need to be interpreted only in an economic sense. Bumping. More contrast would have made this even better.

VERY NICE photo, but, it doesn't represent "material wealth" and that is what the instructions specifically called for. Still, great capture!!

Forget what I said, I've had an epiphany!! I was being too literal in looking only for economic representations of material wealth. Now, I can give this gem the full points it deserves. What a wonderful expression you captured. And the lighting highlights and shadows are very nice. Also, sharp as a tack. One of the nicest people pictures I've seen.

I like your take on the challenge. For sure, material wealth is relative.

They are such dolls!! Great title, too! It's amazing how they suck up the light, though. Your background and flowers are nice and bright, yet the chinchillas look dark. Hmmm. Reminds me of the black chow I had. Rarely did I get a decent picture of his eyes. We forgot he even had them. :) Keep at it. When you get those babies lit well, they are going to be stunning!

Great visual appeal. Like the conciseness of it, and the contrast between the bright yellow and the subtle greenish-silver tones of the other parts.
