===== From trothgard@citywidesoftware.com: Great idea... but I don't know anyone who dreams of losing the lottery :) Looks like a real scratch ticket, very good use of depth of field. ===== From cly@u.arizona.edu: I like the effect of blurring for the background and great job with the hand. I do suggest that maybe you use a coin to scratch the tickets. Kind of difficult to scratch with a thumb, if you know what I mean. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: There is nothing easy about money - even when you have some! Nice use of focal blur. Good modeling. Artistically iffy.
