Greedy enough?

Davidoff

My take on greed

rutt

It's a very nice shot. But money isn't greed. I think you need a person to show greed.

Sandy

I thought money was green. I think rutt is right take the same photo with a hand grabbing the money.

Couldn't you use it as an object of greed? Would there be as much greed if money didn't exist ? btw, thanks for the compliment

Well, those are euros, don't americans call english and euro money monopoly money ?:D

I like the hand idea. That would work and you could have all kinds of fun shooting it. If you really nail it, there is a side benefit, this week's FM WA is "Hands". So it's possible to hit a double here. Never been done. Think of the glory.

I think rutt refers to weekly assignment of the Fred Miranda Board.

Like how you compositioned the money in the picture, but beeing used to Euros, the color of the 20 Euros seems odd to me. The 50 Euros are off color too, but it's not so obvious as for the others.
What kind of light did you use for the shot?

I agree with the others involving your hand would nail the photo more on the topic of greed.

Right direction but maybe the money should be in focus?

I agree the money should be in focus..and maybe have some clinched in your hand as well?

Davidoff

Ok, I'll reshoot it that way. What about some shiny rings? This is ending monday right? I'm going to be away until sunday Maybe this will be my entry after all

Davidoff

be my entry after all

Better? Caught red haded ... I don't think I like this version as much, but comments are more than welcome

They also call Canadian money monolopy money but I take it as being smart. I mean our bills are harder to conterfit. I think America's catching on to that the last I heard and they might join the monolopy money club.
Besides that I like the symbolism of the 'caught red handed' but it seems really over contrasted. Is there anyway you can tone it down?

Better ?

I like it much better, but I have no idea why and what others will think.

Good Job, IMO.

I agree the photo appears oversaturated to me. I like the hand, but if you can try a fist grasping the money too. I'm going to have to go out tonight and look for lust....only for the challenge photo.

Good luck

Is the second better with saturation and contrast?

Yes, I think the second one is better. I like that!

excellent progression of creativity here.

i disagree with rutt, money can signify greed.
but - it *will* be a better shot with a hand in in it ..

you're almost there - keep trying!

Davidoff

Ok, is this any better or just stupid?
