The water color looks a bit unnatural, but the saturation looks pretty good on the grass and the foliage. I think toned down a little (color), this would be a great shot. -7-

48 Months of Debt Smiling at Me

Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure I understand the lack of sharpness comments, it looks sharp to me. That said, this is pretty much the vote I expected. The grill is stock, actually.

For a college student with only a co-op (similar to an internship) for income, a new car is a big investment. The car is my "baby" ; ) So far I'm very happy with it.

Prospecting

Where is the prospecting? Having someone panning in the river would do well to tell the story without the title here. It is a lovely scene, but depends completely on the title to relate to money.

I like the idea of taking a picture of a shop window, but there really isn't much of interest in this window. It looks like a shoe store based on the background, - a more glamorous (ie, pricey) store window might get the point across a little better.

lol, very interesting. creative interpretation of the challenge. Seems a little low in contrast, maybe playing with levels and such would give more life to the subjects.

I'm not sure about the challenge connection, I'm guessing it is about marriage or a proposal in some way? If that is the case I think a ring (in color against the bw background) would be necessary. Regardless of the challenge topic, I like this image. I'm not sure if you have heard of the band "Fuel," but they're newest CD (Natural Selection) has cover art that this reminds me of.

The "spell" of money

I haven't heard of a few of those, but I'll take your word for it = )
Nice idea, the exposure is just right imho, although it seems slightly out of focus in the lower left, might be just my eyes.

Nice idea, I think I would include a little more light, or a different colored background - It matches the camera case, but the two seem blend together and are hard to distinguish - this is really only a slight issue though. Cropping is well done and the subject conveys the topic well. -7-

Water.... Who'd A Thunkit !

I like both the idea and the meaning behind it, but I think the exposure could be done better. The lighting is such that it creates faint shadows - If they were either more prominent or non-existent it would create a stronger effect. The lighting also seems to be throwing off the white balance. I think the setting for the bottles is fine. With different lighting, I think this could be a very good picture.

Money, has been spent somewhere else.

I really like this image, the foreboding clouds, the worn out building...the connection to the challenge is a little vague, but I think I understand it. Nice work
