This is a risky shot Rene Hipken, card # 851-1122685-13 Expiry date 12/2003. That could have been a problem.

Commerce Coined

Very very cool composition!!! Love the orginiality and creativity of this shot... the color is well done also. It's too bad you didn't have an even more commerce like scene in the back... light men in business suits or something... but oh well... still a fantastic shot. 8

Very nice, love the tone of the image... the lighting does seem just a tad bit harsh here, and creates a lot of shadow. Did you try using diffused light? Or light reflected off a white background. Otherwise it's a fantastic shot, composition is very creative and very appealing as a whole! Congrats... 8

The Color of Money

Hmm... probably the most overdone effect on the website. You've recreated it well, but it's become boring.

Very nice. I find myself liking this shot very much, I find it very appealing. Well done, and it fits the challenge very well! Not sure If I like the crop so close though, but well I don't know what the initial shot looked like!

I thought the comment was "A shadow of a doubt"?? Nonetheless I well taken shot! Blue and black works well together, nicely done! I find the composition to be a tad on the boring side though!

Awesome concept for this challenge. Love the photo, nicely done. Would love to see this with all colour removed except for the color in the flag, would be especially effective, but hard to do with the challenge rules! Top shot anyways! 8

Above & Beyond

Very cool photo. Love the whole feeling of the shot, the dark forboding (ya I can't spell) sky is accented so well by the evil feeling of the silhouetted building, and the solitary bid. Very nice! I don't see how this fits inifinity, but I give it a 9 none the less.

This is an extremely powerful photo G4D's! The use of sharp contrast, a slight blue hue and negative space really allows this photo to display the incredible emotion behind the photo.

I'm truly disgusted by the scores you got on this, I know a large amount of people on this site are so close-minded that anything slightly original and artistic scares them and they vote it low, but this is beyond ridiculous. 20 1's? Give me a break! This is what photography is all about folks, enhancing our perception of the world, and stimulating our emotions, through technically superb and compositionally pleasing photo's. Some people should seriously get there head out of there asses, grow up, and come out into the real world.

I applaud you G4D, this photo is remarkable, despite the ignorance and immaturity of many members of this site.
