A simple object captured cleanly. I wonder, though, about the challenge itself, which was not to shoot two things which are used together, but to find interesting combinations, IMHO. 6

war and money

Unfortunately true. Good choice of b&w - illustrating the starkness of war and money. I especially like the 'prison bars' shadows at the top - really pushing your message home. For a final, wonderful, touch, you've got one of the US's founding fathers looking down on the mess he's created. Powerful stuff. So, in terms of meaning, I think that you've done a splendid job here. Visually? Not bad. 8

Nice. Neatly done. The silver and sharpness actually give a wow factor here. The subject is a bit obvious for the challenge, but shot very nicely. 8

Interesting pun. A boring photo, though. Forgive my honest reaction. 4

Nice idea. Composition is fine, as is the degree of detail. However, on the whole, there's no sense of wow or of a real connection between the elements. 6

Nice joke. Actually, they don't go together, but you know that. Although I don't really like this shot, I'm going to give a highish score because of the ingenuity you've shown. 7

The stretch to the challenge is a bit tenuous. However, this shot has nice composition and interesting elements. The dark foreground is a bit off-putting, though. 5

Yes, they do go well together. As for the shot, there are some distracting elements and there isn't a sense of wow. 4

Interesting take on the challenge theme. The general messiness here is somewhat appealing. 6
