Okay so I know I needed a sky, but this was so last minute. I really just got it submitted in the last few minutes. I couldn't figure out how to get the sky behind the tree, but I did finally figure it out and it looks much better. These are for stock, sorry if you see a bunch of boring stock photos from me in the next little while. I am giving it a go and I am entering challenges with stuff I am working on for stock.

This image is already being incorporated into a 'poster' about Doctors on Facebook. I wonder if you realize this or if maybe you created that poster. Let me know if you don't know about it and want the details. Otherwise, congratulations.
Better start picking before it devalues again or they pick you up for counterfeiting. A lot of work went into that tree, the picture has an endearing spaciousness about it that appeals to me.
Hey Jen! Obviously a lot of work has gone into this. What it needs is a little shadow or at least needs a little bit of darkening of the grass under your feet so it looks less like it was pasted in there and more like it is blended in seamlessly. The horizon needs some work too. The grass seems fading in some areas due to usage of soft round brush. I would have used a brush that has the shape of grass blades and used that in order to blend the grass with the white background more naturally. Nice creation overall! Oh and don't forget to share the wealth too!
I don't like it very much. I mean, I understand the great effort and the good work on the 'money-leaves' but the white background makes everything mono-dimensional.
Voted earlier in the day, coming back to leave comments now.
I'd have a big basket in hand and a great, big smile on my face too if I had a money tree in my backyard:-):-):-) Where can I order one of these?:-):-)Great processing and nice attention to details from the money leaves to the big basket and the big smile on the model (yourself I am sure;-) ) I just wish it wasn't on such a stark, white backdrop and instead had a little of an environment feel to it - maybe some clouds and a fence. While it keeps the attention on the important and prominent elements it just feels a bit barren. Nonetheless this should do very well for it is well done and fits the challenge in my mind.
