Next time, try to get in close... ;-)
Images like this really make you aware of the "art" that goes into todays currency and how it is truly overlooked. Good image
Interesting perspective on this image and a great idea for a pattern. I think the overall image may have been better if the pattern had covered either more or less of the image. As it is, the dividing point is close to the center of the image. Also, blocking the light to darken the face may have helped to make the pattern stand out a little more.
I this were a full crop, and depending on your glass, it may well be, you might have cropped the face and left the pattern...the lines of the pattern lead my eye right to the face....really like the pattern part.
