 The rich gold colours represent the great wealth, while the bare background filled with shadows expresses humanity. It's just a facade.

A pretty basic shot, using macro. I tried to keep the highlighting to a minimum, took a while but after dealing with the lighting it worked out as best as I could get it. I wanted to keep the back end in shadows so it appears the front is emerging.

Me and the horse I rode in on. Wish the photo was a little lighter. But still love it. 7

The shadows in the background are a little distracting. Maybe remove the background.
