I really liked this photo. I thought it would do much better, not really sure why it did not. Good luck next time around.

this is technically excellent and I wish I had props like this :) There is something keeping it from popping big time though ... perhaps a little more drama in the angles and POV.

Cool shot, well done.

Clever idea about "green" - will be curious to hear where the 100k+ came from. The PPK can be explained, but the 100k+... hmmmm.
I like the photo - good DOF. Extra point for the effort too.

nice idea and shot - I think I'd have cropped off the top so just the cash was showing:-)

Is it legal to have that much money on you?

When I read the title of this challenge, I expected to see a plethora of dollar-bills submitted. Uncannily, this is the first "money-shot" I've so far encountered (and I'm about halfway through the pile), and I'm pleasantly surprised to see its creativity and presentation. Nice work.

Get rid of the gun and I like it

Hey where did you get all the money? The more important thing is.... Why arent you sharing? Great shot. Thought of something similar but couldnt get a hold of a million dollars.

Good photo here, but I would haveliked the bands around the money tohave been printed in green to make the image pop.....

Strangely, the color green is remarkably absent. Lucky for you that the challenge didn't specify that it had to be the color. As for an actual critique: There are some blown areas, especially in the foreground, and you can see in the two bundles at the upper left that they're not authentically stacked. Nice idea, however.
