Who needs coffee when you wake up to this...

The sepia gives this an excellent "vintage" feel...this actually looks as though it could be an image atleast 100 years old...the contrast , the tonalities, the long exposure, and the clarity all come together quite nicely here...well done.

My absolute favorite IR image of the challenge...I love the clarity of the bridge contrasted against the softness of the surroundings...the water is like glass, a mirror really...the blur is very nice, it adds to this otherworldly/dream like aura the image already has by being infrared...very nice.

I just keep coming back to this...I just love the dark subtle colors...I know I'm looking at a thunderstorm but there is still something very soothing and quiet about this image...perhaps it's the bird...or the calmness of the water...I don't know, but I like it very much.

This has a really cool gritty graphic vibe...also interesting as an abstract...selective desat. was a great choice.

Evening mist

You can almost sense the heaviness of the mist, feel it even...the dampness. Such a seemingly quiet image...very nice.

Hmmm...cute indeed...but lets think about this...the challenge states "The opposite of the poverty challenge. Knock us out with your representation of material wealth" I know this is trying to step "out of the box" I suppose, I hate the term "out of the box", and I'm not a complete stickler for challnge descriptions but...if we go by what the challenge is seeking, this is what this image says to me...those without children are "poor" in a sense and a child is a "material" possesion...yes I understand what you are trying to convey but there is a difference between "think out of the box" and being no where close to said box...the art of thinking "out of the box" is being able to stay on topic, and not to change the topic the to fit in your own box.
