Quite the example of numismatic serendipity! I hope I'm in that good condition when I'm 95. Congrats on both the shot and the find ... maybe I should go check my penny jar.

Me too! Mine actually got a 4.9, despite a metaphorical rather than literal interpretation of the topic. It's definitely a "groovy" photo.

Since you have that solid black area to help make selections, you can have a lot of fun with this image, for example pasting someone's face into the plasma ball and fading it back to look ghostly or projected.

The subject is a complete silhouette, with less than 10% lit from the back (right), just enough to give shape/dimension. Great action shot! I was trying to remember if that was called a skimboard ... I haven't seen a real one in a long time ...

Excellent lightling, original subject for this challenge. I don't know if I like the assortment in a lineup like that -- I think I'd either use two the same and one different, or maybe put the shorter one noticably in front to add some depth and purpose to the differences.

Interestingly, you have a bit of a dark halo around your angel ... I'm wondering if it's intended that way.
