Very nice focus on this macro shot. I can almost see your reflection in his eye! I think it is unfortunate the nickel was so nicked up. This would have been excellent on a highly polished "proof" nickel.

I can't see anything in the photo itself that meets the challenge,- it's just the name. Nice shot though.

Nice macro, I never realized how rugged Jefferson was. I wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley, provided this was the 1770's of course.
