Well, *I* certainly recognize this as pop culture. Much more than my glowing watch! The subject and sign are just too funny. :)

I like how the two look alot alike, if the farther subject was a little smaller, or better focused, this would have been really good. 6

Cool shot, for my taste I would rather it be just white black and blue, the pinkish hues on the clouds kinda detract from it for me, in levels you can hit the pull down and select red then desaturate until they disappear. I think this is legal in basic, anyway just a thought. Nice shot though and love the blue in this!

Positives:
Nice black background and golden colors are strong points in this composition.

Technicals:
Golden color is nice. The main technical feature that hurt this in scoring is the minor defects in the dark areas of the background. There are some other apparent defects inside the lighted areas as well.

The Challenge:
What will bug voters more than anything else is that they really cannot tell what the main subject is. True that if you look closely, you can tell what it is, but for DPC you have a very short time to communicate your subject to voters. If you don't achieve that within afew SECONDS then you'll get a lower score.

Suggestions:
Remove the defects in the black and lighted areas of the image. Take more and different images of the scene that better shows the coins clearly.

I am not sure what to make of this shot. It doesn't work for me on an abstract level, which is just about all one could make of it.
