execution could be better, but you definitely deserve a pat on the back on the wonderful idea. you could have put on $100 bills instead though. or better yet, use like Vietnamese money where you can get like $50,000 bills :)

if only you could get rid of that ugly building on the bottom left, a different point of view maybe because the yellow is just so beautiful.

hi all thank you for your kind comments, and for those who tried to push this for blue ribbon. There's always next time. i have to say, after getting this 4th, i truly appreciate the effort and creativity that people put in to meet these challenges theme and deadlines. I have so many nice photos that have won awards in my country and on the international stage, but of course i cant submit them. Which is why the people who have won ribbons and top 10-20, and those who will do in the future, i take my hat of for all of you.

This photo shoot was actually of a wedding client of mine who was kind enough to volunteer to be my model. i cant wait for their weddings to come because i have so many great ideas for their days. their pictures will be stunning.

processing is just raw conversion, channel mixing and lots of curves and colour balance. i think in all there are around 15 layers.

you will see another picture of him in the free challenge.

i think this picture would look amazing in b/w, apart from that, i think its a stage shot, but very nicely done.

bottom left shoudl be removed as its a bit distracting (i know its outside the rule of this challenge), but im just saying so that you can increase the impace of this great great picture. love the tone, the reflection in the rear mirror. dont think the blue streak goes well with the green tone of the foreground. vut very nicely done indeed. Ha, i even noticed the foot on the pedal. great shot.

if you could darken the rest of image except the snail, i think that would improve this significantly. none the less, what a great capture. now you just have to take a pic of a train, and then stick it in. now that would be an amazing amazing picture. right new idea for my next pic now :) well done
