Brendan,

I dig the concept, but I'd look at reevaluating your focal point and depth of field here.

It seems the focal point is in the very upper-right hand corner as opposed to the coins or the neck of the bottle.

You've got a lot of lines here pushing my eyes up the image and they drop me off right at the neck where the coins are spilling out. I'd look to set your focus there.

My $0.02.

Good luck!

Jeff

Jeff,

Thank you for the feedback. I like your suggestion but unfortunately I cannot reshoot it.

Long story- the wrapped coins were actually my son's. They were part of a high school graduation gift that a relative gave to him. They saved their coins for him since birth. They also dropped in some bills with notes, etc. It was fun going through it. It took several of us four hours to wrap it all and about a half hour at the bank.

For those wondering 75 pounds of random coins is about $800.

Nice backstory and a pretty fantastic hourly wage.
