I could write for a long time on this topic, but had a hard time finding a good photo subject. The original was supremely monotonous. As I tweaked the colors around to find something more interesting, I came across this combination, which reminded me a little of stained glass. That reinforced for me the of the hypocritical attitudes we have in the USA about religion and money , and actually triggered the title for me.
It also may look a litle funny because I had to crank the JPEG setting (PS 5) all the way down to 2 to get the file small enough.

I think this is a neat image without the color adjustments. the color adjustments do make it look 'unique' but I don't see how it adds to the image.. - jmsetzler
Love it, hate it – I'm not sure… In some ways it's artistic, but the colours seem very sickly. I can't say that I can really score too highly – sorry, others may prove me in the minority…
It's a little eerie how a color shift like that can really bring out the Illuminati in everything... Like the dollar on the stock market page, but I'd like to see more of the stock page, especially something like a downward graph or a foreign currency quote.
Bold use of curves and colour tweaks here but I'm left thinking it wasnt necessary - what does it add to the photo besides interest? The interest should really come from the subject matter.
I had to stare at this one awhile just to figure out if I liked it or not, yet another dollar bill. But then it got to me. The coloring grabbed me first, and then as the message sunk into my gray matter I really took a liking to it. Creative storytelling.
