 Going to the dog track can result in being broke, money wise. The racing results and the empty wallet attest to the broke theme.

creative interpretation, but i would've liked to see more focus and perhaps could've lost the big 'Racing Form' sheet, as it doesn't look too authentic - maybe some other things in the wallet could make it seem more used (an ID?). either way, good idea.

That brings back memories. The form and handicap sheet seem a bit washed out. I might have tried a darker background and diffused lighting.

Interesting take, but the picture is a little soft.

Missed the theme in my opinion.

That's your problem...bet on horses instead. :) The layout could use a lot of improvement. The background doesn't enhance the picture. The main part of the photo, Scoreboard, is way too out of focus.

I think that the scoreboard was sufficient. Big red letters saying :Racing form" just take the attention away from the wallet

broke is not the same as bkokeN. Also, the pics seems a tad soft or perhaps oversharpened - not sure, but it looks off somehow.
