Challenge: Wealth (Basic Editing)

Location: My Living Room

Aperture: 5.6

 This is my very first entry. I've been watching and voting for a few weeks and I think I'm ready to submit something. I was trying to think of some ideas that symbolize wealth, and of course, the typical money theme comes to mind. Sorry I didn't get too creative this time! So I grabbed a bunch of twenties and my jewelry box and got to work. I laid it all out on my glass coffee table and put a flashlight underneath to light up the bills. I added the fork and knife to jazz it up a bit and add a little more to the theme. I didn't do any editing or color correction other than resizing. I'm pretty happy with the result. Let me know what you think!

The title is really throwing me for a loop.

Depth of Field seems slightly to shallow. Good idea though

Not sure what your focus is here - the stones, the rings, or the pearls? So much of this photo is badly OOF, and there are reflections on the emerald cut stone that makes it not immediately recognizable.

rings with fish eggs?

Great shot, only let down by the foremost ring being OOF

I feel like the rings should be more in focus.

Complex object.

Diamond on foreground ring needs to be in sharp focus.

Nothing really seems to be the central focus. Very distracting object in the upper 1/3 left.

Not enough sharpness in the image it give a real impact.

I think its a bit typical

I wish the ring in front was in focus. It doesn't seem that any of the jewelry is in good focus.

I don't get the title...??? Would like it more if more of the rings where in focus (at least one in front with the big round 'diamond').
