This is a nice abstract compositon. I have no complaints about it on a technical or aesthetic level. However, it doesn't really meet the criteria for serendipity. I'm not surprised to see the 1909 penny in this photo because it is a carefully composed shot that was obviously planned. The finding of the penny may have been a serendipitous event for the owner but that feeling doesn't carry over into this photo.

I acutally found one of these in my uncle's penny jar when I was a kid - the best kind, a 1909S VDB

Serendipity is a difficult concept to visualize. For me it means being at the right place, at the right time, and being lucky enough to capture something unique. Some of these entries are set up shots trying to illustrate that concept, and some record a serendipitous moment experienced by the photographer themselves. This is a particularly good example of the former. It's beautifuly composed and photographed. However, I'm not sure what's so serendipitous about a 1909 penny. Would this be more meaningful to a coin collecter?

Absolutely amasing macro shot. The sharpness, lighting and DOF are amasing. Nicely done.

this is what a still life should look like.....although I would prefer to see the coins a little more random.....
