That's a great idea to do the triptych to show off all of the words. Good thinking!!! :)

I am happy to see the triptych to show the whole inscription. The last one, Tutamen, is just slightly off in regard to the N. I really like these photos. Keep the macro view going strong. The lighting is a bit different in each one and I always wonder how to get a series of images to have good detail as well as the lighting be the same. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

What a great idea! Nice triptych and details. I agree with 21.gif Arcanist about the left photo.

Beautiful! DOF is perfect. I have not one complaint about the images. The border however is a bit thick for my tastes (spelled being anal). Left side box is slightly larger than the others causing a bit of an uneven weight in the triptych and the background in that cell is slightly lighter as well.
