And upon her head she wore a crown...
A British Pound coin. I love the little nicks and dents that coins get. How many pockets and purses must they have been through to receive such scars?

Wonderful. You can almost feel it's weight.
If you get enough of them in your pocket, the sheer weight of each one banging into the next could cause a lot of damage!

cool and clear, presenting something familiar in a new way - that's art. Great stuff. Have another go, and get it all in focus - then it is perfect.

I read somehere it's illegal to photograph a British banknote though I'm pretty sure you're OK with a coin. Nice detail and an interesting angle. Rated a 7/10 at the Ratings group.

Very nice. Like everything about it -- the positioning of the coin, depth of field, light.

Great picture, wonderful reflection about the coin. I would just like to see it without the blur on the right of the coin.

I really like this shot - beautifully lit, and the contrast is nice - got to agree about the blur tho.
