Your shot does not meet the challenge description of ..."The opposite of the poverty challenge. Knock us out with your representation of material wealth."
Quite interesting idea I really do like it. The colors are marvelous the set up is nice with the trees just showing a little bit of the sky in the background. The only thing that really annoys me is the trunk in the middle with is out of focus, it just captures the attention of the viewer and just makes the picture quite uneasy.
The Affluence Challenge description says, "The opposite of the poverty challenge. Knock us out with your representation of MATERIAL WEALTH." This is a cut and paste message that I will comment on all submissions that do not seem to suit the topic of the challenge. Take note I understand this maybe just my personal opinion, and as such I only deducted 1 point from my original vote.
