Greed for Money

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

......I was listening John Butler Trio, Money.....

So 1+1....

.........All for your money
Sweeter than honey
All for your Money
Tell me man can you eat your money
Tell me man can you eat your money
Cos that's what's gonna be left, that's what's gonna be left
So tell me man can you eat your money

Business man with your uranium mine,
will you gain a conscience
Politician man, there in your Government,
will you gain a conscience
Media man with all your newspapers,
Who lies must gain a conscience
Prime Minister with all our apathy,
will you GAIN A CONSCIENCE!

C+C welcomed!

Cheers

Fab,

I like the concept and the colours, but I think that if you're going to include the wine glass, then it should be included, rather than a cutoff base.

So ... either the whole glass (maybe stuffed with notes?) or not at all.

Thanks,
for suggestions

Yes, the glasses was full of coins, but i did't like it.
I'll try again with a full glass or without it.

Cheers

nice concept

are those all your declined credit cards?

in terms of execution i think the utensils blend in too much with the other elements.

but concept comes first so many kudos to you!

perhaps the knife and fork either side of the plate inside in the mix with the cut up cards?

Thanks Wendell
They were old working cards replaced now with new one.

For the execution I'm new in this area "Still life" but I'd like to improve my skills so any comments is welcomed.
I like still life because you might talk without words.

Laurie,
I'll try to move them. But same side in a sort of "I'm full now, I had enough".
Finger prints? I'll use gloves.

the concept is great.

Maybe try getting one of those funky plates you see at cuisine restaurants (ie. large and square), and only have one small pile of credit card in the middle. Usually you pay a lot for only a little bit. And have a glass with a wad full of notes like Gary suggested. Could try it from a side or 3/4 view to get the entire glass in.
