Even though I think it looks a little over-saturated, I gave this a 9 because it is such a terrific composition. I love the parallel diagonal lines of the bills. Congratulations on a very nice photo and a very nice score.

Great score for this shot, well deserved. The parallel lines of the bills are impressive, almost made for a photo.

Very nice details in this image. Beautiful subjects and nice composition. Nice job... Sharpness looks real good and I'm glad you didn't attempt to over-sharpen. Good luck with the challenge!!!
