Composition is dynamic due to the juxtaposition of the bottle and the bill however I feel there is a conflict between these two items. My eye is drawn to the bill since it is the brightest part of the image but am drawn to the bottle since it is the object that is in focus. This may have worked better with the bill in focus and the bottles just slightly out of focus.

Explosure seems right though with true white and black.

Keep shooting.

Usually I detest softfocus but it works well here, very fitting for the shot. However, "wow" factor is pretty low here but everything about the technique is pretty good.

like the "past due!" touch in this photo. nicely composed. would have liked the focus to be just a bit sharper.

I've been there. nice use of alcohol to actually do something other than site there looking like a pretty bottle.

There are quite a few shots like this but with your post editing, you made it interesting. I like the softened label on the tequila bottle and the slightly out of focus of the past due bill. 7

Interesting idea but the out of focus spoils it for me
