Unique idea but I'm not going to believe that Farrari is making an SUV. LOL Cute composition and good colors.

The Color of Money

From the Critique Club

I have to view this shot from two different perspectives. One, as a photographer, and two, as a person.

First the photographer point of view: This shot is about as perfect technically as a shot can be. The focus is right on and the lighting is right on also. The shot is also nice and sharp where it needs to be. I do think that the main dollar sign symbol should be more out of focus though. Color wise I don't really like it though. It really doesn't look like 'The Color of Money'. I know that currency around the world is of different color schemes, but when I think money I think of a darker green. 'The Sign of Money' may have been a better title. Technically perfect, compositionally a few minor flaws that do not really detract.

Now the hard part, the 'ME' point of view: I'm sorry, but I have to agree with many of the commentors on this photo. This type of shot is kind of like a trick billiards shot. It's impressive the first time you see it, but once you know the trick it's never has the same impact! This shot HAS been done before here, sometimes better, sometimes not quite as good. There really is no creativity to it. All you did was put a dollar sign under the glass! Also IMHO once you know the 'trick' there isn't a lot of skill here either. It's a camera shot. I can't do the shot because I don't have the camera. You do. On an intellectual level I can not fault you for using your camera to it's limits, on an emotional level, I'm a little jealous (bitter maybe) that I can not equal this no matter how many times I try it with my camera.

It is a great shot, good details in the eye of the swan, but the water in the background isn't really the most dominating piece of this photo. [7]

Hey Buddy, ya wanna buy a duck? Sorry, couldn't help myself! Duck's expression reminded me of that old joke. Interesting composition, the duck is in perfect focus - would like the background to be a little more so.

Beautiful DOF, nice composition here, my only problem is that snow (water) is only in the background. Your composition leads my eyes to the goose, and this distracts me, because I would search for water and all I find for the first time is this bird.
