I decided to experiment a little so I took several images of bills and took the best and converted it to b&w. I then tried different things in photo shop until I came up with this. Ok its a new attempt and may not measure up but I guess I'll still put in the voting booth. I welcome your comments yea or nea.

I think that its good enough that you should print an 8x10 and send it to the president to put in the oval office. LOL! A very cool manip.

Hello, Steven...

1) First of all I just saw this in the VB and gave it an "8". I never awarded a "10"; so you're right near the very top with this posting in my book.

2) When I saw the postage sized shot in the VB, I thought this was an MC Escher original. In my book that's a compliment.

3) I work for the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury. This posting is in direct conflict with the laws of the United States of America. I've alerted the agency, and you should be hearing from them in the next few days.

Best of luck,

Roger

P.S. I made up #3. :-)

Roger has a wild sense of humor, But you get used to him after a while ;)

Nice image Stephen. The radiating lines in the background combined with the egg shaped foreground works well. The VB has no mercy when it comes to black and white images as well as creative images. Thats two strikes against this one. So take it as it comes and keep on being creative.

You know that the VB is like the weather, Stephen: unpredictable, lol.

Creative and inventive work. Well done.

I really like this and yes, it does have an MC Escher look to it! It's very creative and full of interesting lines and details. Good post! Also - very original...

Its a good idea and I like the result. Only thing I would like is a little more contrast, otherwise great looking!

Experimenting is a good thing. This is pretty cool. I don't have my money long enough to get a picture of it. LOL.
