This is my third submission to this challenge. I'm having a hard time deciding, but I think this one is best. The DOF may be a bit too tight for DPC voters, but oh well.
I love the Canon 50mm f/1.8! For $80, you just can't buy a more creative and fun lense.
This shot was a starfish on white paper with a tungsten lamp very close (mostly desaturated to remove the yellow hue). I used a +3 closeup filter to get me in really close.
PP was crop, levels, Neat Image, desaturation, resize, sharpen, and border.

Thanks chele, and thanks for comments, all! I really liked this one, so middle of the pack is a little disappointing. But, it's still my second highest shot, and I didn't get any 1's ro 2's! =)
