These are a small collection of coins from the various commands or places I have served.

I'm running out of subject matters. My kids are starting to charge me $5.00 a shot. Combine that with gas prices, I'll be broke in no time.

I'm either opening up the weapons safe or toolbox next.

We have a million of those laying around... such is military service :) You did a nice job with the composition here.

ETA: I think what is up with the brightness is that center coin... it seems quite a bit brighter than the others...

This kind of hurts my eyes for some reason. There's some glare, or maybe it's oversaturated, or perhaps not quite in focus yet over-sharpened to compensate. It just seems harsh. Or maybe I just need more sleep!

Anyhow, it's a good colorful subject, but it makes me start thinking about those "build your own lightbox/softbox" tutorials, and how diffused light might look.

Cool collection! So few people realize the value of stuff like this when you are old and showing it to your grandkids.

Looking forward to the weapons... :)

edit: Oh, I meant to say the pic is very good - focus and DoF wise, but WB seems on the yellow side.
