Severus Snape - 36
Someone needs to talk to the photographer - you have gone slightly transparent here which is slightly offputting. Prop usage is apt though rather normal as is the background, which is also quite plain. Green is the colour of greed, though sometimes better off as envy but I can see your choice.

violetriddle - 25
Did someone put the fan on? The flying money hides some of the fact that your model appears to be wearing a nighty and standing in a bedroom, as of which Im unsure how this refects greed.

Elana - 36
Write up helped your models case here and certainly the tiarra. The background is too plain for my liking here, though, with not much reflection upn category. Facial expression is apt and pose is slightly better.

streams of silver - 38
I like the quote which shows confidence, though perhaps it would have been a good idea to put who said it. The quote reflects well in the half background, though more background needed here I think. Prop usage is apt though like Severus Snapes model, it can be deemed as an overused prop.

polly - 38
A great interpretation shown in prop and style though you would think that perhaps if she is showing greed through accessories and clothing she would have more than a bikini bottom! Pose and expression is good, though, but background lets you down here.

KatieBellaTrix - 30
Im not sure that I automatically see green shown in this shot, though the write up helped. I see what your model is aiming for here, and pose works well in this right. Facial expression also sits well. Clothing is perhaps not quite right here.

Herbaceoustraitorous - 34
Is it Christmas already? Firstly, though, before I get onto style choices I will praise your background choice in this matter. I am one for good choices in background and this is one to bow down to. Onto your style choices. Perhaps a short write up may have helped here for all I see is Mrs. Claus. Perhaps the fur indicates greed, though this I am unsure of

skyla0305 - 35
Here we have a few good elements. Props help greatly here, though I am unsure of why your model is under a rose archway, though it actually does seem to work. Pose and expression is good, though clothing style does not say too much about category. Perhaps write up may help?

Belldandy - 25
Again, ike many models before you, we see the overused diamond and floating money. It is apt for the category but lacks imagination slightly. Your style also gives the impression of hippie, which is great in context, but with greed lies slightly out of the boundary. Background is also slightly off the category.

SlytherinPride7 - 39
Now this is a good choice in style and prop usage. Lacks the correct facial expression though pose is great. Again, though, non-existent background looses points from me

Ellemanae - 42
It is unfortunate that I have seen this pose and outfit within lust category, thoug it does work with greed, especially with the background choice. I think this is what gives the points an edge.

chiffonpuff - 35
Write up helps here, though dancing cat slightly offputting and a bit weird!! Nice choice in style, if not slightly casual for the category. Background limited but works well.

Rigby Dumbledore - 42
Now here we have the usual money pot, but the enancement of the rainbow is a nice touch, though possible showing more luck aspect than greed. The props are chosen well and the outfit is classy and promotes the category well. Facial expression is great though pose is possibly too open for greed.

Gemma_Cullen-Malfoy - 42
Now I like this whole shot, except for one thing which you are probably already guessing. The background. Too plain and takes away the whole feel of the shot. Model within herself in both style, expression and pose is great though, but unfortunately points have been lost for the background.

Shausto-la - 43
Now this is interesting. Your models pose is perfect for this category. You have aso interpreted this category well and creativley. I read that you had hoped to add a small write up with your models, though I think that this one did not need it. Its not perfect, but it is possibly one of the best in the category in my opinion.

Severus Snape: 35
Nice outfit, the bottle green suits you well. Good hair and pose, and whilst the background is fitting, it's a little bland.

violetriddle: 28
The dress is shapeless and boring, and the floating money hides a lot of your model's pose. Could be better.

Elana: 35
Whilst I can't really see a representation of greed here - apart from the tiara - I think the outfit is well chosen and looks good. The background is too plain, however.

streams of silver: 38
Very stylish. Pink isn't a favourite of mine, but you wear it well. The props help to represent greed, but I think it's evident from the smart cuts of the outfit that money is a friend of your model.

polly: 32
What happened here? Did your model forget her jeans? It doesn't do to turn up to a photoshoot in your knickers, dear!

KatieBellaTrix: 30
A little on the skimpy side, don't you think? The clothes look cheap - not what I would expect from the greed category. The background is nice, if a little plain.

Herbaceoustraitorous: 32
Hello, Mrs Claus! Oh wait, that's not your name? Hmm. I'm not entirely sure why the "wife of Santa" look is meant to represent greed - aren't they famous for giving things away? Great background and hairstyle, however.

skyla0305: 33
Hmm, can we say trashy? The see-through kaftan is so classy! Yes, the sarcasm was intended. I like your hairstyle and prop choices, however.

Belldandy: 34
There's a little too much going on here for me. Way too busy. On it's own, the yellow and black combination works well, but it's pushed slightly OTT when you factor in the sunnies and fringe-beady things.

SlytherinPride7: 43
Oh, lovely dress. On the wrong person, this could look trashy, but on your model it looks classy. The hair and pose are great, and the background fitting, if a little plain.

Ellemanae: 38
A very nice outfit, but it's been done before. Nice hairstyle and tiara.

chiffonpuff: 29
Not a big fan of this, I'm afraid. It looks like a nightgown. You're redeemed by your cutesy haircut and background.

Rigby Dumbledore: 37
A very nice dress, the layering on the skirt works really well. I think the shopping could have been left at home, however.

Gemma_Cullen-Malfoy: 43
Oh, I very much like this dress. That length is tricky, but you pull it off. The feather boa shouldn't work, but it does. The background could be improved, however.

Shausto-la: 45
This is a very unusual outfit and pose, but I really like it. The colours of the dress are great, and the flowing skirt is lovely. The gathered flowers and the calm background have earned you a high mark.

I'm too greedy to give high marks... Marking

Severus Snape - 48
If I ever had to show greed it would be like that exactly! From the background, to the phone to the clothes color everything screams greed! Best performance so far in the whole show. Though photography do needs an improvement.

violetriddle - 15
Whislet the money shows greed the poor dress is too plain and simple to fit. Shame.

Elana - 25
Spoiled girl... hmm... yeah I can see some of that. You dodged a bullet for now.

streams of silver - 15
Pink! My eyes are bleeding! Take her away and leave the vault!

polly - 15
Honey being greed to buy your model some pants is causing me to be greed to your mark.

KatieBellaTrix - 20
Hmmm... there's not total abesence of logic in your description but I still think there's something missing...

Herbaceoustraitorous - 40
Ohhh I'd say this was Cruella Devil inspired! Brilliant! Love it all!

skyla0305 - 25
If it weren't for the facial would be in real trouble here...

Belldandy - 25
Yeah not a bad piece of work. I like the glasses. You might have future...

SlytherinPride7 - 40
Was it not for facial you'd get an almost perfect mark. The dress is just simply asthonishing.

Ellemanae - 35
I have seen this before... but it works here! Still points loss for the ugly dog!

chiffonpuff - 10
Ruining a sin like this should be crime!

Rigby Dumbledore - 35
Yes. Simple but gets to the point really well!

Gemma_Cullen-Malfoy - 35
Oh the facial is priceless. Though there's something odd about the model even though I can't actually say what. It's just a feeling.

Shausto-la - 15
Greed to be in even may be a sin but you won't pass it through me...
