I appreciate everyone's feedback. To be honest, I don't understand why the tape was such a huge issue. The tape is the point of the shot, or at least integral. If money did grow on trees then I wouldn't have the tape visible. But the saying is that it does not therefore the only way the money is there is that it was placed, hence the tape. The big, ugly, blue tape was on purpose. :p

Ah well. :D

It's funny, nearly everyone felt negatively about the blue tape but that's what made the image for me. If you didn't have the tape it would be a boring photo. With it, it becomes humorous. I wouldn't listen to the others on this one.

Great idea, but I find the blue tape really distracting.

I have heard that a few times before!

I would prefer it without the blue tape. Nice idea and good picture otherwise.

the tape is too obvious (or was that intentional)
 05/08/2006 03:07:18 AM

I think I would have liked this if I couldn't see the tape.

would have been much nicer without the big ugly piece of tape.

I like the picture, the only I would change is maybe use something a little less noticable to hold the dollar bill on to the tree.

But, duct tape does :-)

Blue tape attaching money to limb really blows the deal for me.

Might have worked better without the blue tape.

...but in your photo it apparently does? Or is the blue tape supposed to be the irony?
 05/03/2006 08:29:34 PM
This is a very nice photo. Great composition. I'd probably give it a 10 if the blue tape wasn't so obvious.

The tape is so distracting...try harder next time...
 05/03/2006 04:39:10 PM
Like the idea, but have to knock this one down a little for the visible blue tape.

the saying is it doesn't grow on trees not doesn't get tapped on trees.
 05/03/2006 09:59:21 AM
Would be a very cool shot if it looked a little more natural, without the blue tape being so obvious. I like the composition and idea.

the tape showing cost you marks I'm afraid, good angle though and nice focus

Good... blue tape though?? Like the picture and the idea, wish money would grow on trees hehe..

if you could have hidden the tape would have been much better
