This was an alternative idea for the "Seven Deadly Sins" contest. This one depicts greed. *wants your comment so bad*

i love your critique ChenLiTao :nod:

You're right about the pennies.. but we were looking mostly for quantity.. if i had one 5$ bill in front of me it wouldn't have given the same effect. I'm the model so thanks for the compliments on that :blush:

I will have to agree with our Delta Quadrant friend above that the picture lacks the greed feel. I think if you somehow risk your life in order to get money, then it would be greed. Or, you could be holding some money but eyeing another person's money.

Also... most people associate pennies as worthless. Using pennies as a symbol of "wealth" is not very effective in psychological level. Might as well have used monopoly money or toy coins.

In terms of composition, I would like to see more DoF in this case. Also, I'm guessing a wide angle lens was used at close range, but a zoom lens would have been better.

The skin tone is really nice. The soft lighting is excellent. White balance... 2 thumbs up. And the model... Pretty.

I dunno, I find it doesn't really convey the feeling of greed, you're model seems disinterested, I think you went with the better one when you chose your pride piece
