I would've used just the left side of the picture. Try that.

One of the grosses scenes in the Universe. I like your thinking behind this image, but can't help but feel that a real mint would have worked better.

you could have composed it slightly better, but I love the concept. Great use of a listerine strip.

Thanks for the comments!

I'm glad to have scored so high! It's a bit higher than I expected.

For those who thought it doesn't really fit the challenge, the challenge says something that is at least 100 years old. :-) I guess 4.53 billion years old is at least 100 years old.

About the title, it's just a bit of fun rather than a boring title like "Wrinkles of age" or something. Imagine you're looking through a telescope and you tell someone something about a crater - there are so many it's just impossible to point one out!
