Story about envy

Challenge #6 in the Stories series. Hosted by verybiglebowski.

Challenge has finished

This is a challenge of visually expressing envy/jealousy. Think of the image that speaks for itself, without any words. (Image title is fine, but should not be an image explanation) Images of the work of other artists (paintings, graphics, signs, etc.) are not forbidden but not really original, so you might reconsider entering them. Your ideas, imagination, readiness, and the ability to see things from a different perspective, are to be challenged in this series. Please, read the additional rules below!

Announced:

Tuesday, 16th March, 2021 (GMT)

Submissions:

Tuesday, 23rd March, 2021 – Monday, 29th March, 2021 (GMT)

Voting:

Tuesday, 30th March, 2021 – Monday, 5th April, 2021 (GMT)

Processing rules:

You can use as much of the postprocessing as you wish, including compositing, collage, double exposures, and whatever you like, but make sure that you have the rights to use all image elements. Elements don't necessarily have to be created by you, but you are responsible for the rightful use. Buying from image banks is perfectly ok.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

There is a catch!
As of this challenge, most of my challenges will be evaluated by five (later maybe more) of my friends, all very talented fine art photographers. They will add 5 stars to the 3 best images and 5 1/2 stars to the three worse images in the voting phase.
It's not much, but it might help a bit with the voting fairness. However, it is also a bit more subjective as we will discuss it together prior to the voting.
In the end, I will post either in the challenge comments or challenge discussion forum my own pick of the 3 best images.
If you don't like this approach, please choose a different challenge.

I'm sorry, but are you feeding that dog CHOCOLATE cake!?

frasimo

No, it's looks like sweet, but is actually birthday cake purchased at specialty dog bakery. Made out of diet dog food.

Thank god. I've met way too many "people" that had no idea chocolate was toxic to dogs.

As close as you can get to perfect. Just an excellent example of being in the right place at the right time, and able to use your skills with a camera to capture a moment in time. Definitely not something you could pose and try different shots. this is really the fun part of our hobby.

Thank you Gordon. This was not a technically perfect photo. There was not enough time for this part to be completed, but it managed to send a clear message.
