A bit of a stretch for this challenge, in my opinion, and it's really not the greatest photo of a watch; we already HAD that one in a previous challenge!
I can see the Philosophical connection to the challenge. The love of money is the root of all evil. You chose to do it with a readily accepted status symbol. Your use of symbolism is well chosen. I am not really skilled enough to give the best technical insights but I'm sure others will share that part with you. The crease, or lne running across the horizon detracts. I think maybe the light and shadows could be experimented with or toned down a bit. Over all I'm giving you a 6. Gracious
It's the photo that's supposed to fit the subject of the week - not the title. Sure it's a great picture of a rolex. Good contrast and focus. Well lit. But tying it to the challenge just by the title is way too tenuous.
I don't think this really fits the theme. Yes, it's a Rolex. But...How does this relate to the corporate world even with the title? However, this is definitely a very well thought out and executed photo.
Stark, just stark... It asks (to me) the question - do you hate the owner for having it or do you want one yourself? Great picture, great idea, great picture!
the dark line in the background kinda distracts me, but not bad. To me, and it is just my opinion, it seems to need to be tilted the other way, or turned the other way. not sure. I like the black and white. karmat
Going for the greed angle. OK. But the line in the upper third detracts, and I think this may be better if the watch were moved to the left just a bit to decenter it.
