Makes the World Go Around

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 11 June 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

This is pretty much as-shot; the weird lighting is due to the fact I keep my coins in a tomato punnet, and sunlight was streaming through.

I also think that it might be strictly illegal for me to have taken this shot, or maybe thats just paper money!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

I do love the lighting in this shot Dave, and the details are incredible.
I'm not sure about the legalities either but I won't tell, Couldn't lend us a few bob could ya :)
