The Affluence Challenge description says, "The opposite of the poverty challenge. Knock us out with your representation of MATERIAL WEALTH." This is a cut and paste message that I will comment on all submissions that do not seem to suit the topic of the challenge. Take note I understand this maybe just my personal opinion, and as such I only deducted 1 point from my original vote.

I like the texture and color but th elighting is what is hurt the photo to me. I am not sure if you used a flash but it makes the texture look flat to me. I gave it a 5.

Excellent lighting to bring out the three dimensions here. Meets the challenge very well and is aesthetically pleasing.

At first, I thought this was cocker spaniel fur!! I like the variations and the curled nature of it. Wood??? Interesting. 7

The flat, nearly head on lighting detracts from what could be a very dramatic texture.

Excellent photo. Like how the barrel is blurred and the front part is SO SHARP! Nicely done.
