"Rolling In It"

My daughter grudgingly posed for me again. Who wouldn't enjoy this??

Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!
Mike

    Grudingly because that is all the money out of her piggybank?
    Themeworthy for sure but it is a bit to bright on her face. Flash I assume.

    I like the idea (that's a lot of money), but it's not quite working for me just as a picture. The blown highlights on the face and shirt might be part of the problem (perhaps playing with the RAW? if you have it?).

    I also really love the red(ish?) hair, but it looks washed out here. It seems like the pict could have more drama. I'd also like to see her face turned a bit more to the camera.

    Perhaps you could pick a couple of those tens in order to reduce the reluctance and try a reshoot? (I'm trying to figure out how to bribe my son to pose again, too, and my daughter just isn't in my budget :-)).

    I like the concept but definitely missing a wow.
    Perhaps a re-shoot or try playing with the levels & contrast a bit.

    Thanks for your thoughts. The light just before sunset turned out to be a lot harsher than I was expecting. Her face tended to be very lit up and the money very dark. I'll see if I can process this one a bit different or perhaps combine a couple of the shots to make something more dramatic.

    Thanks!

    OK, here's a rework. I used a different shot showing more of her face and did a better job on the PP. (I think)
