Great idea, but i think that person looks too fakely played out.

This certainly conveys over-indulgence though not necessarily the luxurious side of it. Concept comes through loud and clear in the execution, composition works well.

First impression
Don't know what to say! It screams at me. Can't stop and look at any part of it, my eyes just wander to the next bit every time I try to stop. So in the end I stop where you didn't want me to. Namely in the overblown section. So I think "Overblown" in stead of thinking: "Hey this is cool"
What can you do better
Higher shutter speed or lower aperture to get rid of the overblown part.
Also consider a different placement or add another thing beside it.

Great ghost story. Good looking picture. Light a bit harch in the window. Nice use of the lines to let the eyes follow to the trunk. Exept for the lines at the top.
What can you do better
A different crop, take a bit from the top and increase the shutter speed for less light. This is Adwanced Editing so you could have brightened the rest of the picture in Post Processing.
This picture is underrated. Should have scored higher IMO.

You met the challenge but this picture only shows strawberries but not a field. Good looking strawberries and some of them in superb focus and show a great detail. Lovely colours. This picture would have scored well in the Bokeh challenge I think.
What can you do better
The picture is maybe a bit too simple. Adding something to the strawberries might have helped. There is nothing that connects this to the Beatles but the title. (the same for my picture).
I saw this thread two days ago, read'em and weep :-)

Indeed, over done. But the photo was well composed and executed. It has enough of the theme without being sanitized or overly unpleasant.
