Dolla' bills!

In another addition to imagery for my mural, I've decided to incorporate something, aside from the Stars 'n' Stripes, that is not just iconic to New York, but to America in general. I came to the conclusion of including the American Dollar bill. So, after finding a lovely, high-res image on the net, & applying my poster edge effect, I had a perfect Dollar bill to add to my mural. However, as is seen in the image shown, the bill looks a little flat (literally) & I think that this wouldn't really look very exciting on a mural, it would just be there, not doing much. To add a little emphasis to the dollar bill, I decided to use the wave distortion tool to bring the dollar to life & make it stand out a little more. I'm planning on completely rearranging the imagery on my mural so I won't have the problem of having to find a place in my already existing mural in which to put this image.
