Buying Power
by HRoxas

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge, though a purchase agreeement for more than $17,517.31 would be more compelling ;-). Exposure and composition good, focus feels a little soft- not sure why. Lighting is even.

Personal: Relatively creative, but not "wow".

Promises! promises!

Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: Somewhat more interesting than the other piggy bank shots, and technically well done. I find her bracelet and the arm through the border thing distracting, though.

Bandits at Work
by DiamondPete

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure pretty good (tough with those machines) Composition is extremely interesting, but the bottom right corner is distrcting. Focus is good. Lighting is even.

Personal: Creativity is visible mainly in the angle. Not exactly a new idea though!

Catopoly
by Ram21

Comment:
Technical: Monopoly fits the challenge. The cat, while cute, actually detracts from the theme. Exposure is good, composition is okay, focus good, lighting is even.

Personal: Creativity wasn't stretched here, the game itself could have yielded some strong on theme shots without resorting to cat votes! :-)

Lack of....

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good. I'm assuming the mid-face crop is to protect his identity.

Personal: S'ok. Doesn't make me go "wow".

Business and Money symbol in this generation !
by akulkarni

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge, but only because of the title. Exposure/lighting is too hot on the single key. Composition isn't very interesting. Focus good.

Personal: Could have been better executed. Is there a reason you chose the "2" key?

penniless

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure/lighting- you used a flash, didn't you? Yuck.... Composition looks too cropped- this could have been done without making it that narrow. Focus is good.

Personal: Good idea, definitely could have been more creatively executed.

Saving for the real thing
by GinaRothfels

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure/lighting looks good but maybe a little hot on the pages. Composition is nice, but the spotting on the background is a little distracting. I hate not being able to spot edit! :-) Focus good.

Personal: I like it!

The House Always Wins
by unikorn

Comment:
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure is tough with neon- you're a little underdone on the room itself and a little hot on the machines and the neon. I like the composition. Not sure where the focus is. Lighting is so so.

Personal: Not overly creative. I'm surprised by the lack of people! Some "ghosts" in the extended exposure might have made this more interesting.
