Welcome to the forum.

I see you've been experimenting with depth of field (DOF)...you're already ahead of the curve!

P.S. I like your username

errrr, well its a start..lol, its creative, but try going for something a little more apealing to the eye.

to me this image has balance in a way, and it nicly plays with DOF.

Howeveri t appears a bit dark/dull and colours are not really ppleasing. But in particular the latter are more a problem of the scene depicted than of the shot itself. certainly some better light could have helped, but still a pseudo-wooden table isn't the best to start with.

Could work as a high contrast b&W as here the colours don't matter

thanks guys really appretiate it im not too good at editing photos

Only thing that I would fix with the B&W (black and white) is to move the object of focus up more and to the left just a tad... I really like the idea of this. I had the impression that there was a message about being out of focus with my finances or something like that. If there wasn't a message oh well

Those out of focus glasses are kinda annoying... I like them,but they should be in focus. Rather then the coins...But both if them would be cool.
