Very nice! Would love to see a print of this one when the challenge is over...it would go great in my kitchen! :-) Love the colors and the border, the only thing I don't care for in this shot in the way the black fabric is draped on the right side, wish it had more of an angle to it like on the right side. Still a beautiful shot. 9

Thought the rules said that we could not take a picture of money?

Good shot, but I thought the rules said you couldn't use actual money. Still, I like the devil image, money is like that.

Comment by Neuferland:
A cute idea but as I'm sure you've heard so far, it does not meet the challenge and therefore is losing points for that.

As for the shot, I like the idea but a couple of things bother me about this shot. The border to start, to heavy on the black outside, the inner borders are very well done but the outside is too much. The drawing on the bill is to messy overall. A finer marker with more time would really make this work I think. Using the other bills for borders is a good idea but you only have three sides covered, one across the bottom would have completed the picture and made it look more finished to me. I started with a 2 because of not meeting the challenge and the shot just didn't really appeal to me but upon further inspection I am going to a 5

I liked the idea, but I don't think this is within the guidelines of the challenge.

"Here's the catch: you can't include any real currency (or the likeness of real currency) in your shot."

I think you may have missed this in the special rules for this challenge. A great shot otherwise.

Technical: You already know it breaks the rules. Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: Creative idea, but doesn't meet the challenge.
