Money, money, money...

I have never posted in Still Life, B&W, and Experimental before, so be nice to me. I decided to play around with some old money that I had laying in a jar. I got the idea for this shot after seeing the post by White_Marten with the "keys of the kingdom". Let me know what you think of this, and how I can improve it, because I'm going to try again tonight to see if I can make it look better. Thanks for any criticism.

It looks to me like a good photo,I remember those coins myself being stationed overseas while in the military..Good Job

In this case, the color one works for me much better. Good job!

The love of money...

I like the B/W convertion but I'm not so fond of the frame..

I think it looks nice...and I must prefer the color version over the black and white. You have a nice range of colors in the coins and the paper money so show it off! Makes me want to dig out some of the various coins and paper money we've got laying around.

I was thinking the same thing about getting out our stuff. But I spent it all on photo gear...:o

LOL I can relate, I just placed an order Friday which I'm waiting on being shipped...however I haven't spent my foreign currency so that's probably what I'll dig out once I get a free moment.

Nice use of the scripture reference! Amen brother!

Money, not everything in life because money without love is equal to sadness, however is close to oxygen....

The scripture doesn't say money is the root of all evil, but the love of money. I'm thinking about doing some more still life shots with a scripture basis. You could get pretty creative with it I think.
Thanks for the positive feedback!

I prefer the color version, my self. It remind me of a shot I did a couple years back. http://www.betterphoto​.com …rld_traveler_ii​_-_750.jpg

Great job!
