I was hoping to get this in on time. I am very excited to be a new member of DPC. I had the idea for this photo, and thought it was just a little to good not to submit, though I know it is under edited and probably wont place well. I feel like the new guy that just wants to participate. Thanx for taking a look.

Wellcome to DPC for starters. This is a pretty nice beginning and I don´t really understand why it didn´t score better. I mean, the lighting is good and looks very natural so great job there. The DOF and focus are spot on, frankly technically this image is very well done so you obviously have the camera details down. I also like the idea and it´s pretty well executed.
However, I was thinking the same thing as some of your commenters say, that you should have shredded real (or fake) money instead of white paper. It would have been pretty easy to use a photocopier to copy money and even though they would have been b/w then you would just have colored the fake shredded money green in photoshop since this is an advanced editing challenge. It just would have made the photo MUCH stronger. That or use something other than white paper to shred, like something you would usually shred like cheeze or potatoes or stuff like that so it just looked like you were putting dressing on the main food wich was then the bills.
Anyway, great start and I think this was seriously underrated, I personally would never have given a lower rating than 6 so keep at it, you´ll fit in nicely here after the adjustment period :)
hahah, funny. it would have been cooler if you maybe printed off some fake money for the grater rather than just white paper. and you went a bit to heavy on the neatimage.
