Ok. Probably a love it/hate it photo. A near high-key attempt here, only because after taking the shot did I realize I really didn't like the light-blue background I used. Too tired/lazy to switch out the color and thought the bank would get lost on pure white. Biggest debate was the consideration of lightening the black hole in the bottom of the bank via post-processing.
Should be enjoyable to watch the comments come in on this if nothing else. :D |

| I thought of this one, too, but you did it better so I'm glad I didn't enter mine! Maybe a wee bit on the bright side, but it works OK that way. |

| Very good entry for the challenge (one of my favorites). The movement in the bill, and the grabbing look of the hand really sell this image. ~10 |

| It's a very nice idea and generally well executed, but I think this photo suffers from overall lack of contrast--particularly in the hand. |

| Nice execution. More contrast would do this pic a lot of good. Nice work! |

| Ok, THIS looks like something someone could be procrastinating about! I like it very much! Well illustrated, and the high key approach makes it very appealing. ANd how'd you get that dollar bill to look like it was in motion :) My highest rated photo so far! |

| Interesting. The contrast seems a bit high. Pretty blown out on my LCD - the piggy bank loses distinction. |

| Cool high key. I wish we could see a bit more of the piggy bank. |
