What I liked: Blackeyed peas, $20, new years. Haha, also, I like the composition with the negative space in the upper right.

What I didn't like: Subject isn't very enthralling, and the paper is a different shade of white than the background was. Light seems fairly flat.

I really like this photo, it fits in perfect with this challenge. My mother-in-law is a stickler for this superstition.

This is a fun idea. Your lighting is quite strong and even. Perhaps a bit too much negative space top right. Some is fine, maybe if you had fanned the bills a little? Good luck in the challenge.

That's one I hadn't heard of. When I read "black-eyed peas" I assume it's a Southern superstition. Is that right?

Interesting superstition, I might have to give this one a try. As for the photo it seems a little flat although brightly lit. Also, I don't feel the empty space in the top right adds anything to the photo, maybe if the bills had been fanned out to take up some more of the empty space. i do like how both the calendar and money run off the edges in opposite corners.

I honestly believe you can imrove this pic by changing the angle of your shot. A little to the right would have made the composition more interesting. :)

True, it fits the challenge very well, but the image itself is very busy.

Great idea, and lovely clarity on the beans

The photo doesn't do much for me. Not much in the way of color. I think maybe a different setting would have been better.

wonderfully done.

Good concept.. But I don't have a 'wow' factor.

Good - I think a more interesting composition with lines or features that lead ones eye around the frame could help.

Very cute, maybe spread the money out a little bit more... but the background is very distracting with the uneven lighting and the blowout and discolour.
