 The inspiration for this shot was the phrase "smell the money." It's funny in a way because it may look like a lot of money at first, but it is about $15 in ones. =)

I finally got the guts to submit a photo after lurking around the site for a while. I'm hoping to get some good feedback.

The shadow in the lower center really detracts, as well as the one on the left.

i've never thought of money as smelling good, but i like the picture.

good clarity of the bills and a nice contrast to the 'face' in terms of light and color...could be anyone!

A bit of a cliche but well executed never the less. Lighting could have been more dramatic to enhence the subject. Well framed. 6/10

Should have used 20's or 100's to really get the point across.

The eyes closed really makes this shot work with the theme. It invokes the sense of smell. Good composition and gerat lighting.

Very good portrayal of greed. The lighting needs improvement, as it is a bit dark and the shadow on the money is distracting. Great idea. 6
