Steals a 20*

...not me though ;)

The only green shirt I have, would've liked to get the cloth pattern both plum, level and straight all the way throught. I did try to iron the creese out but it would flip back, I know this one is begging for a re-shoot :) But maybe I should crop the top on this one for starters?

Thanks Pops, I'm also leaning towards replacing this entry with the newer version of the photo.

I personally like the newer version better.

Thanks Yvonne and Gerald :)

Here I have an alternate version of this photo. Was wondering if I should replace the current one with this one?

Creative idea, very well executed. Not only is the green of the shirt and the green of the 20 exactly the same hue but also the same structured pattern! Very well done.

Really clever and great color combinations. Yvonne

Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone, really appreciate it. :)

I've played around with the crop before posting this one came out the best, I didn't want to crop the left or right side so the dollar turns out clipped. This was the nicest looking 20 I had the moment, not too clean or crumpled. If I had to choose from a clean perfect 20 or a crumpled one, I would've chose crumpled for this shot because the shirt is a bit crumped itself :)

this is my favourite of the three because it has very clever thought behind it. very nice composition too. -Abstract

Neat!! Clever and perfectly on topic!!. Well done Techo!. Just my thought, but choosing an old crumpled bill or a brand new one may have added some character? -Cat

Frankly, I didn't notice anything but the twenty bucks!!! Ha Ha shu

I really don't notice the lines on either side unless I really look. But, to me, they seem to be in porportion to each other, at least on the top half. I'd leave as is. This shirt matches the 20 perfectly!!! Very creative idea here. jano

nice shot techo. this picture really sticks out on the thumbnail page. i like the green on green and the contrasty fingers are a nice touch. i see what you mean about the sides. the right side is more distracting than the left side. could you crop out the left side...not to cut out the dollar but to cut out the white shirt line? or would that be cropping too much....what about burning the white line so it`s a little darker or cloning it out? - andrew

Thanks Lee and Shu :)

So you don't find the pattern of the cloth distracting? or am I just nitpicking again ;)
