Nice macro effort, I would have put more of the knife in the frame, perhaps a more diagonal angle

Day 3 - Phone Home

Comment by JMart:
LOL! I thought "phone home" before reading the caption! Nice control of the light for such a shiny object. The DOF accents your subject very well. The only thing I don't love is the background as it seems like there must be some more interesting colors to compliment the color of the coin. Then again, perhaps a dull color emphasizes the coins glitter.

Day 1 - Penny for 'em

Comment by SDW:
Yes the DOF is a little skewed but great focus on the F.D.2006. Good start for the month.

Day 5 - Heads

Comment by talj:
The weirdest bit about this shot is that that is a black piece of card as the background! To the naked eye there is no dust, no marks just black...under the macro lens these white (?) dust like marks appear!

This one is right on the money! Great use of negative space and tack sharp. Almost too sharp -- be nice to reshoot this one with a shiny new coin and a black background free of dust! Nice job.
