The title confuses me...what side? Other than that, I like your concept.

Nice depth of field, but the subject matter does not do much for me; I see these the way I see gifts every day, and the patterns of the gift wrap and their placement are there, but not different in a way that I would expect from an image focused on patterns.

You know, this fits perfectly. It's a shame that you can't see the photog's notes prior to the finish of the challenge. What goes from a bad shot with people wondering what the hell you were thinking to absolute clarity of an amazing shot just from your words. I have to say that I'm one of those people who didn't vote this higher, because I was wondering what you were thinking. I have to apologize. You hit it dead on!!!!

OK now that I have read your notes (very well written by the way!) I get what you were trying to do with this shot. The thing about photography is that the image has to stand on its own to tell the story. You put a lot of thought into your image, but it just didn't get translated through to what the voters could see. For this challenge, actually photographing money would have worked. The lyrics of the song "Money" would have made the statement you were looking for. It is a complex web we weave with the challenges and our images. As I mentioned in my previous comment, as an impressionistic image this was a good photo, it just didn't work for this specific challenge. Keep working at your art, and I know since you put so much thought into your images I will eventually see you on the front page of DPC!
