I'd been looking at the challenge's for a couple of months but this is the first i have entered.
After thinking about it for a couple of days I thought about my friends that have been struggleing for a while living with parents because they never had much money or anywere to live, they now have thier own home but are living to a very basic material wealth.
In the begining of June they welcomed into this world Xander & logan proving material wealth is not always financial.
Mother and Son, showing love is also material wealth.

This is a nicely done photo, and I'm guessing you're getting beat up for being THIS out of the box. Affluence of family? I think it's nice, and vote 7.
Material wealth? Nice shot but not very fitting to this challenge in my opinion...also, I though maybe, just MAYBE the title could pull it through as an "abstract" interpretation of the topic (material wealth)....but when I read your title it didn't lead me to this at all. Your title is "Loving Touch"....this is a direct and literal title that, if anything aside from the literal interpretation, could represent love, nuture, or relationships....NOT material wealth.
This ia a wonderful kind of wealth, I agree, but the challenge specifically called for material wealth so I can't give as many points as I'd like. Nice line, though.
Mea culpa here. Changed my opinion. "Material wealth" doesn't need to be interpreted only in an economic sense. Bumping. More contrast would have made this even better.
So very very sweet. The composition is lovely. Could you up the contrast a little and still get that soft effect? Hmmmmmm This would be fun to use a diffuse filter on as well. Thanks for the smile. :~)
I love this image! I'm a new father and a bit of a sucker for these shots (especially since I've been planning to shoot something very similar to this with my son) A new child can truly make you feel like the richest person alive... I hope the message isn't lost during voting.... maybe a different title could tie it in to the challenge a little better. IMHO more contrast would give it a little more punch... great capture though - 9
Regarding the image -- Nice picture of very special bond -- black & white works well. I would maybe crop the bottom sleeve out for a more equal balance?
Regarding the challenge -- doesn't speak to "material wealth"
