I'm not saying that this picture doesn't meet the challenge, but I've looked at it for awhile and am not seeing the message you are trying to communicate. Why the wrinkled one dollar bills? Is it that there are only four of them that is supposed to convey the poverty theme? The photo is well composed and technically good, I'm just not connecting here.

One of my favorite uses of selective desaturation I've seen. Very nice shot. 9

Somehow shots of money don´t give off "poverty" as far as I am concerned. The shot itself is very well done however.

this image gives me a mixed message, in one sense it is a "have" image but we know that money can helpalleviate poverty in another sense.
