An interesting view point and one not normally seen. A very precise and crisp image somewhat flawed by it's overly flat tonal appearance - it could have used a little better treatment with adding some contrast to increase it's impact. The white areas are washed out and detail lost which isn't a plus. It is a good concept and just a little on the short side in terms of execution. A good solid entry into the challenge and it should do reasonably well in terms of score.

A very intriguing look at everyday objects and money. A terrific presentaion with no major or minor flaws, this image works on several levels. Crisp, sharp and very clear. Originally rated a nine, this reviewer rerated it a ten if only because of it's clever concept and perfect execution. Should be a ribbon contender and most certainly a top ten image. Well done.

Your background is distracting from the light reflecting off of it, I think higher contrast would help this a bit but I'm no editing guru, I think this subject would be better if the money and tacks filled the screen instead of being framed by the background.
