It was only after the challenge started and I saw a thread on using "artificial" DOF (selective blurring), that I thought to use that technique to enhance this one.

A bit off the wall, but still does not make the challenge for me. It is interesting how the quality of the bills gets worse from front to back. Was that deliberate?

Eh, obviously you drop your fear of candids for this Challenge...

This is a clever slant using dollar bills, for this challenge.....

This borders on meeting/not meeting the challenge to me.
I'll give you the singled-out part, but the idea was candids and people. (4)

I never want to pass the DNMC judgement on any photo, but this challenge was specifically supposed to be candids.

Pretty nice set-up. Don't spend it all in one place.

First I scored this a 4, and then I realized I made a mistake.

I must admit I am looking for "faces" opposed to shoes or birds in this challenge, however your creative crowd of faces will get my vote.

Sorry, does not meet challenge which says "single-out a person in a crowd".
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2006 10:41:15 PM
The challenge asked for a person to be singled out in a crowd using shallow depth of field.

Those are bank notes, NOT people.
