This really didn't turn out the way I pictured it in my mind, but I didn't have a lot of time to play with it. This station was busy, and it was a very windy day. This will probably be a contender for the brown, but I am really fed up with spending tons of money on gas.

First Impression - the most important one: Very clever ... and yes i can see that picture used in the lifestyle and commentary sections of our papers here.
Composition: plays nice on thirds and uses the leading lines to draw the eye into the picture.
Subject: meets the challenge ... although I don't think I would like to smell of the cash after :)
Technical (Colour and light): Natuaral light ... well shot and good DOF to blur the floor.
To grow its vote?: This is your highest scoring to date and you are learning heaps .. keep taking things on board and thinking outside the square.
Summary: Great shot .. well done.

Nothing really jumps out at me with this photo. The only thing I can think to share with you is this: When I think of photojournalism I think of someone behind the camera snapping away as the action unfolds before them. Although staged well, this pic IS staged. Not my Idea of photojournalism. Just my 2 cents.
In this challenge I am only commenting.
All comments are meant to be constructave. Please take them as such. Good luck in this challenge!
I like the thought behind this one, perhaps even lighting them on fire would've been cooler! (though I wouldn't expect you to waste your $ and risk an explosion!!!)
It could be a little stronger w/ better focus on the bills and less focus on the writing of the gas cap.
Great set-up, one of my favourites in the challenge (was this taken in Canada? I see French writing on the inside of the gas cover, yet you used American money).
