Simple. But not appealing the speck of chocolate behind the cake as well as the blotch of chocolate on the side is distracting. I also think the white ballance of your camera might need to be adjusted. it has the feel that it was shot with incadesent lamps as it has a slight orange glow. I also dont feel that style cake fits the plate. top cake texture is also lacking. Sorry.

Mmmmmmmmmmm. . . and the affluent can afford the fat-farm to get rid of the results too :)

Yummy! I'm sure the china is nothing to sneeze at either!

Lighting is a little dark IMO.

The white balance seems incorrect in this photo

Witty. I like this take on affluence. I would've lighten it up a bit and punch up the colors and contrast, but that's me. Great idea.

This shot doesn't meet the challenge!

The Affluence Challenge description says, "The opposite of the poverty challenge. Knock us out with your representation of MATERIAL WEALTH." This is a cut and paste message that I will comment on all submissions that do not seem to suit the topic of the challenge. Take note I understand this maybe just my personal opinion, and as such I only deducted 1 point from my original vote.

af·flu·ence

1. A plentiful supply of material goods; wealth.
2. A great quantity; an abundance.

Just not seeing it here, sorry I'm really not trying to be rude.

Sweet!

The lighting is too dim/warm for me. A bit brighter and cooler would have helped, in my estimation.

To the disinterested observer, there doesn't seem to be a direct link to the challenge theme.
