Hello from the Critique Club!

This is a fun entry! Who hasn't dreamed of instant fortune? I like the composition of the photo. There is no question what the shot is meant to be about. The placement of the large "LOTTO" text brings the subject out immediately.

Of course you have all the voters wondering if this actually happened! I'd say you probably printed up the report behind the ticket to use as a prop for the shot. I think it's done very effectively. The placement of the pen, the circling of the numbers...it all adds up to a wonderful serendipity shot.

As for meeting the challenge....hmm, that's a tough question with this challenge. I guess it doesn't quite meet my own definition for serendipity, but it's close. It strikes me more as luck.

Technically, I think it's very well done. Good focus, lighting, and colors. I can't think of anything that I would like to see done differently.

Great job!

I hope you find this helpful.

I'm bumping this out of curiousity to see if this was just printed out or if this actually happened.

Neat idea and execution. Why aren't you on a long extended vacation? :) I'd like to see just a bit more of the pen.

Ha! Winning the lottery isn't Serendipity, though. That's a treasure you are really looking for!

Sady this is not serendipity but pure good fortune (Although I have enough trouble understanding the word, so the clearly non-english-first-language-speaking submitter should be complimented on a good idea and nice photographic execution).

such a hard topic, but I think this was a good idea, and does say serendipity.
