OMG... sacrilege!!! ;)

The focus seems a touch off.

what a beautiful location... I understand why you cropped it the way you did, but the result makes the house seem small in comparison to the surroundings... I'm not sure how this could have been improved, but I feel it is lacking in punch.

Wow! at least a $620 went in to making this shot. I like the statement and feel it meets the challenge criteria, however...

Wall textures are a bit distracting as is the reflection from the flash on the wall and trashbag. The shadows are a bit harsh behind the trashcan.

I'm not crazy about this shot. IMHO it lacks composition and appears more snapshot-like. The shadows are a bit distracting and the focus seems a little off.

So very true! I like the image by itself as well as the somber tone you have created. Black and white works very well for this particular capture. I feel that the block wall in the foreground and the trees in the background are a bit of a distraction. Maybe a slightly different angle that would have incorporated less of the trees and none of the block wall would be more appealing. I also feel that it falls short of the challenge. Although the title references the challenge, the photo alone says nothing of material wealth.
