Ya know, a different background/foreground (whichever it is) would have done wonders for this picture. Maybe solid black, or white, or black and white. I don't know. Currently, it is just a little drab. The trick is nice. I've seen those birds before, what how did you do that with the coins? That's neat.
I think this is a really clever idea -- would have been "mundane" right side up (although still tricky) -- but upside down adds a great deal to it. I would have cropped it/shot it so the bird hung perfectly straight down the column of coins instead of just to the left. The focus seems a little soft on the bird and coins -- but it also looks like maybe your camera isn't quite so high end, so maybe that's the problem there. A light shining on the front of the coins to bring out detail would be nice. The colors of the picture seem to be a little green -- but that's assuming the wall at the back is white. Finally, a different background besides the wall and table would bring this up another notch and change it from isn't this cool what I balanced, to isn't this a great shot...

I like the idea, but the colors are a bit lacking, and there is very little detail on the coins, but this was probably taken with a 1 or sub-megapixel camera, for which this can't be faulted. Still, I think better lighting may have helped.
