I would have used a different color background for this shot. A Darker one to make the silver in the money stand out more. Maybe a deep purple or even black. Its always fun to play around with set-up shots.

Timosilberie,

Hi. Yes, I am with pooks on the background tip. I like the way your subject runs from left to right across the frame. Maybe try experimenting with a warmer light source. Yes, set up still shots are great fun!!!

Yeah, darker BG would really improve this, like a nice cherry wood or something. Also the light seems pretty hard, maybe if it had a texture, some slight variations of color, etc...

Oh JerinTheBox what a great idea!! I never even thought of a nice dark wood, that would really bring out the gold tones in that little bag the coins are coming out of. That is a very good idea!

I like the composition and the detail of the coins. The only thing I would change is the backgound. Good job.
