 Driving home on a monday evening with this challenge troubeling me in having some inspiration this shot, it suddenly came to me. Luckily the sun was still out and I had enough light to get the photo.

Cropped, sharpened and adjusted the levels.

Shot on Aperature priority with fill in flash

This would be my serendipity.....

This, in my opinion, is the best of the "I found money" photos.

Good luck, nicley composed.

good idea, but a bit distracting becuase of those branches

Nice idea, maybe a little off the deep end! But, I like it! The only thing that bothers me is the shadow from the flash on the hand, other than that, great photo!

Cool effect. Darkening the hand would make that part of the image less distracting. Nice Shot!

An interesting photo - the hand in the foreground feels overexposed and gives an odd sense of persepctive to the shot since it's so much larger. I don't mind staged shots such as this, but I'd like to see the bills integrated into the branches more organically (as if they've grown like leaves, perhaps). Great idea.

excellent concept - the hand is a little hot though...

This is a very weird shot for me... it almost looks like you're throwing the money upwards. It has almost a plastic feeling. I don't really know what else to say...
It's not a 10.. it's not a 1.

A fairly obvious idea but nicely executed, the hand going to grab the notes really adds something to the image.

in my opinion serendipity is something found when your not looking for it not something planned to enter a challenge. I think this would have been a better shot for the money challenge altho it has been done by many.

Too contrived for my tastes.

A little over exposed

The idea is fine thou I´m not sure if it´s very original. The angel is fine but I´m not sure about the exposure.

Good idea. The hand looks overexposed, though.

Great idea, but the placement of hand seems a bit awkward, as well as your fleshtones are washed out by the flash

I really like the idea. Well done. Good composition and use of fill flash.

Lightness of the hand takes away from the money. Cute idea though!
