Everybody talks about the Sword of Damocles, what people don't know is that there's also a Hammer of Damocles - it's always hanging just above your money.

I think a lot of people will assume you used actual coins and just shot them out of focus - i don't know if that's the case or not (as actual currency is not allowed in your shot), but it looks to me more like water sprinkling into a pool (rain/hose, etc).
If it is the latter (or something similar) then I commend you on a good job of making it look like real change. :)

change please!

Poor little piggy, doesn't know what fate is in store for her.

Great detail here, and the silver on black really adds to this. I see this finishing high.

Silver glitters, but tarnishes over time...
I like the setup though - very clean, no distractions

Virtually identical to another shot. This isn't the first time this has happened and wonder if this is a group doing shots or family members... while it's a good shot, I think many people will have issues with being too similar.

I get the comparison here between the 'haves' and 'have nots' and feel you did a great job in PP to bring that out. The grain really makes this image feel more real.

America was built on wars and has thrived economically during periods of conflict. Financially, can the country correct it's current state without more war? Many people think not - though I hope they are wrong.
Sadly, in our world, the ape with the biggest stick is generally the alpha... given that situation, i'd rather be the one holding it, even to never swing it, instead of having it used against me.

One of my favorite images in this challenge, even if it's not the most 'mass appeal popular'. The starkness of the surroundings emphasizes the need to smash this little piggy to bits to get whatever he has inside. Great setup for the shot and works great in B&W.
