I like the idea of this one, but I can't help but think of a traffic cone when I see it. I think that a different angle would benefit this shot, or adding different lines (tilt the dollar so that it is a little more visually engaging than just straight up and down). Also, I think the black band is a little distracting, I would have liked some tape in the back to keep it rolled up so we couldn't see it.

that is a photo not for a faint of heart :). I like it though. I think it could be better turned 90 deg CCW...
