 Don't worry folks, never touch the stuff.

I can assure you this looks better with the border. I tried to add a little blue to this, but I'm colorblind so I hope it's enough / not too much for you normals. A little spot editing would have been nice, but oh well...

SharQ, hope you like the title. That's what you get for questioning my beer brand loyalty. ;)

Hehe, 6 one's! I guess some people didn't like the subject?? I expected a little of that. *slowly raises middle finger in their direction* Seems it's more their problem than mine...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I didn't realize how wealthy all you DPCers are. Some of us don't have $100 bills just lying around the house. ;) If I did, I would have used it. But I see your point. The people I know who use this stuff don't care how they get it, whether it's from a dollar bill, straw, hollowed out tire iron... whatever.

I took a few shots with the stuff cut into lines, but they don't look nearly as good. I think this makes the statement a little clearer, as well.

Very provocative. Congrats on a great shot. I like the muted color and the slight reflection of the coke is great.

You're not a banker in NY by any chance, are you? Great shot.

Shouldn't that be a higher denomination bill?
 07/28/2003 07:51:52 PM
I'm sure it is more than a dollar!

May not be a publically approved image, but I think your tones in this image as well as the simple layout make a powerful statement. A $100 bill would have been nice :-) 8 -danny

I would have use a 100$ bill to make it more evocative, but still a nice one.

A fantastic pic full of contrast and detail. I would have prefered to have seen the powder in stripes. This is good tho and one of my choices for the top three places in the challenge this week - 10.

I would have liked to see the money with it's color. It still is nice looking in b/w though. Very good quality and layout.

I like it, and this is truley nit picking... the "coke" should have been a little less, and "cut" iinto a straight line.... it just looks like there is a bit too much to be belivable.

I love the textures. Nice interpretation.

One hell of anexpensive photograph - and you could only find a one dollar note?
 07/23/2003 11:21:32 AM
should have showed the user's nose instead. Powdered sugar I hope is what you used. Doesn't do much for me you lost to much of the dollar into darkness on the edge of the photo.
 07/23/2003 10:07:55 AM
The color tone is great. The compostion couldn't be better :)

A scummy trend, nice shot though.

a hundred dollar bill and some stuff that would have looked more like Coke would have made a diffrent...
but this shot is awsome.
Cant see how it fits the challenge but I´m giving you a nine anyways(Thats bcz I got hacked 4 Liquid speed a short time ago;)

Wasn't the idea to use a larger bill, like a 20 or 100, to show your affluence? Anyway, sadly, it works for a trend (I sure hope that power's a prop). I think that, given the "cocain" is supposed to be the trend, the focus would be better on it, or at least with a wider DOF. The bill is definitely very sharp and crisp. Lighting and composition are great. Good job.
