Oh this one is easy... I recently joined a side-challenge for June where you should photograph a certain object everyday, and it so happened that I ended up doing a "7 Deadly Sins" subtheme.
Lucky for me that my setup was still untouched the way I left it so here's the shot.

Its a funny picture and I think i'm one of the few who get the title, hah, but I would have to agree with the choir here and say that the execution is not exceptional (not that I could do better! I don't know anything about lighting :P)
haha it did make me giggle. I didn't vote on this challenge, I'd have possibly given this a 6 or 7. The only thing it is, it does seems to have a slight cast. It might be the lighting or it might be my monitor.
I have to be honest with you... I love the tittle... Now, I'm guessing youre trying to portray greed? Its a cool, different idea for sure. Focus is good, although i feel like you could have cropped it more. Its a 7 from me. :)
Good idea, but poorly executed. Halos around staplers, poorly lit, dirty looking wall. A little smaller DOF would help to further separate the staplers in the background.
Great shot, and an excellent idea!!! Very good use of dof to seperate the two groups. My complaing would be the scmootz on the left side of the bacground. For some reason my eye is drawn to it like a magnet.
The small set of staples left for the losers adds the final touch to a great photo. and the quote bumps you to a 10. I haven't heard that quote in years! Classic!
