Um... money shots in general don't get me too exhilerated... coins and bank notes: can't quite work out why they keep coming up in abundance in every challenge. I grasp that in this challenge they really do meet the challenge topic, but I've seen soooooo many in other challenges, that this doesn't make an image of currency interesting at all. Sorry.

This is a very creative take on the topic. It's full of careful planning and thought... I think however, a tighter crop would have helped you. I must admit to not "seeing" what I was looking at on first viewing - I could see the shoe, but then I didn't at first make out the little horny devil ... thought perhaps it was a twisted bit of brown stocking or something: and then I saw him! Anyway, just to give you an idea of what I was seeing and what my initial reaction was. Perhaps a tighter crop and a warmer light to pull the eye in?

Lovely background Bokeh, and a terrific subject. I think that the bright sunlight has not served you well - a bit harsh on the highlights - I might have opted for a more subdued, diffuse light to bring out the warm tones of the rust... but then that's a subjective opinion ;-)

This is CRAZY!!! I can almost smell the sulfur - really gets the sense of the element across. Interesting pallette: yellow, orange, purple and blue.
