Hmmm, interesting. Surely that symbol means something other than money. Regardless, this picture is well done. I like the angle at which this was taken. Lighting, composition and focus are all good. The background seems a little artifacty, though (maybe oversaturated?).

While I understand and agree with your social commentary about affluence, the challenge topic is affluence and as such your image does not meet the challenge in my opinion. The image is clear and complelling it just doesn't fit in this challenge.

To the disinterested observer, there doesn't seem to be a direct link to the challenge theme.

Interesting take on the challenge. Sorry, but I had to laugh at the title. Good clear closup.

When I was growing up, one of my uncles who is a carpenter was doing a lot of work at our place and one of the things I really enjoyed was wathing the 'rondhaa' as we call it. I used to sit and watch the shapes the little pieces of wood were making. This image throws me back to my childhood. It's your focus and presentation that does that.

I think this is a very clever idea! I love the set up of the wood shavings, nice diagonal and then the planer in the background on the other diagonal. The lighting is a bit bright on my monoitor with a couple of hotspots. Its a great concept!
