Thank you to all who appreciated my photo.
Actually my idea, not well expressed, was to show the opposition between the two big religion groups (christian and muslim) represented by the cross and the other one (it's not a rosary!).
Cannot see very well, but most coins (the dark ones on the lower part) are from lebanon and israel and the others (also the shining ones!) are us dollars, euro and pounds (can see very clear LOL). These represents the opposition between rich countries and "once-rich-now-poor" countries due to the wars.
(sorry I don't know yet how to update the comment in the box under the photo LOL@me) |

| The composition is interesting - the highlight on the coin overshadows the cross, which is too bad - it's the only religious element in the frame so it should be more of the focus of attention. The focus feels a little soft on the chain and cross as well. |

You can send all the money to me right now! :)
Not a bad shot but the lighting is too yellow and the glare on the coin is very distracting. Also the contrast is really lacking in this shot. Not sure how the church and money are really opposite since most churches want your money, LOL! As is started at a 3 but going to bump to a 5 |

| I think I would have liked this picture if it were simply the money, paper and coins. and brighter more vivid colors. |

The color could have used some balancing to tone down the extreme yellow cast of the lighting. The
arrangement is busy and uninteresting. |

| nice idea. i think the lighting is lacking something. maybe try either more shadowy, or more even lighting. the bright spot in upper right corner is a little distracting. |

| The lighting on this picture looks "off". A different white balance setting may help remove the yellowish tint cast over the image. |

| Out of focus, and the lighting is a bit dim. |

| The shot seems a little dark. Perhaps if there was a little more light the vibrant colors of the money might have popped out a bit more. Good take on the challenge. |

So why did I give this a 3 ?
Well, its 'flat' there is no depth, no texture, the lighting doesn't make the cross stand out, in fact it almost recedes into the notes. The orange 'tint' just reminds me of a tungsten white balance problem, The shiny coin takes too much attention because its the only shiny thing in the frame, and I guess its not supposed to be the main point of interest.
Sorry for the score, but I hope that helps to explain why I marked it doen. |

| Poor lighting - a bit too cluttered, hard to focus on the rosary. |
