CRITIQUE CLUB!

Well, this definitely looks like it fits the challenge. However, I think that the subjects of the photo are giving a jumbled message that doesn't quite jive all together. I assume that the items indicating 3 separate countries was intended to convey the sense of moving from one place to another. This might have worked better if you had used three similar items from different places -- like three types of currency. It would have made a more eloquent statement.

Technically, the photo is not bad. The focus is a bit fuzzy on the koala bear and on the foreground of the pound note. The background does not stick out, and the lighting is fair and even. Is that a hair in the middle of the two passports? There is some kind of wrinkle in the file that pops out upon viewing for a little while. A little sidelighting (very little) would have also helped the koala paws not blend into the background so readily.

Overall, a decent still life and a good attempt at the challenge.

Nice one. The black background works well here. The money is a nice touch. Adds color. Like the teddy bear, excuse me koila bear. This is a good photo a worthy of an 8. PTL

Haven't seen a 1 pound note for a very long time!

I see you have an Australian icon in there. Clarity and composition is very well done.
