Empty wallet too many credit cards and a final notice to describe the money situation of all too many people today. Really wish I had more flexible lighting here, but it was the best I could come up with at the time.

Good focus and meets challenge. Can't tell what the blue thing is that the cards are in.The background is not one color: bottom right hand corner is white; bottom left hand corner is yellowish (appears to be a shadow); the rest of the background appears to be a grey shade.
Wow, how do you keep all those straight? Like the wallet and all that, but there seems to be a bit more white than anything else, maybe spread them out and smug out the info on the cards?
The lighting is uneven and there is a strange refelction - probably from the hologram. There are two lines or hairs in the image. With a setup there is just no excuse for not having things perfect.
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure is okay, seems a little dark in some places and too hot in others. Well composed, though the line behind the wallet (is that another sheet of paper?) is distracting. Good focus. More even and diffuse lighting would have helped the exposure. Are you spotlighting the empty part of the wallet where cash would go? Good idea, but I don't think it translates as well as it could.
Personal: I like the idea very much. A little more attention to detail would have made this great.
Love the title and the final notice text. The problems are the lighting and the perspective view of the wallet. Your color is good. Keep trying. Good luck.
