It might not be the image that fits to simplicity best, but to me it's for sure one of the strongest images: great composition and strong expression. And I always honour pictures showing people, because those pictures are the hardest to take IMO. Color focus etc. are great too. Good luck.

Woo Hoo:
What a warm welcome to the photographer community after being absent for more then half a year.
Actually I was getting my a** up and submitted something because some friends from the Powershot A-Series-forum reminded me that there is the wonderful world of digital photography beside work and other stuff.

Congrats to the other winners of this challenge and thanx to all commenter! They make this site very special!

I was really surprised how well my entry did, because I thought that there would be many similar entries showing some lottery stuff.
I got several Lotto-tickets from a local shop (they are for free), made some crosses without much thinking, set up the light and took some shot which turned out to be better than I expected.

Thanx again to everybody here on DPC,

Jörg

Absolutely fabulous! Have'nt seen such an image as a photography before. Like a painting and very inspiring. I like the enourmous variation of color very much.

While the image probably does not get to high because it shows real money, I like it a lot: wonderfull topic and well executed. A frame might have been nice.

Where in the world did you get this pick!? It\'s wonderfull and the best pick of all I have seen. A less dark background might have worked better IMO: it looks like the pick is flying, making the image a little artificial. Otherwise great (like the frame too). Good luck.

Great idea, fitting the challenge much better then many other submissions, if not even best: the link too money is perfect. However, the image is a little too "snap-shooty" IMO. The background disturbs and due to the flash the light is too harsh.

Good idea and well composed. Light is also set well. Only the DOF could be a little larger and the image more crisp.

A strong entry! While money would not be the first thing that if it were not in this challenge, I think it fits very well. Also showing a realistic scene rather then a technically brilliant work is well suited: adds a lot to the mood of the image. For me a 8.

One of my few favorits! Like the composition, the light and that the backround is not completely dark. Using color instead of B&W works well to, although the fingers are a little too saturated IMO. Good luck

That's a great image, probably a winner! Money pops up emediatly in ones mind.
The boys expression is great and the light set very well.
