Comment by carlos:
Thank you to everyone who spent his time comenting on the pic. You have been useful indeed!

Maybe you cannot call it a wheel, but haven't you seen any of these rolling down to its hidden place?. I wasn't either trying to start a discussion about if it's euro, dollar or whichever currency you happen to use, I just borrowed from Cabaret's song "Money makes the world..."

On the other hand, you cannot lay the blame on me about being unoriginal just because it's a coin. Sure, there are lots of nickes and dimes around but... it's the first EURO coin portrait here at DPC, AFAIK!! :-DDD

I think wheels should have a point of axis. Don't see one here. I get the metaphor, and the picture is well composed/framed. The coin looks a little soft though. I especially like the gradient of brown across the image.

This is a very good idea, also the light conditions are working, but the composition does not ... I think I would have dead centered this one. I have to admit difficult decision. Yours, Jan

I am not sure I would call it a wheel, but it could spin, so I will go with it. I like the blending of the tones very much. A less used coin might of worked better, but I am not sure.

Nice color and lighting. The background breaks up a bit on my monitor. I won't dun you for it being a coin, but I do take exception to the title--just don't think the Euro has yet gained the status of the economic force you imply. Still, it's a nice shot. If I'd chosen this subject for the competition, I would have stood it on edge--but that's my vision, not yours.....

Great picture and I like the way your title tries to tie in your picture with the challenge, but it doesn't really fit the "Wheel" challenge. But I will give you 5 because this is a great picture.
