Piggy bank full of dirty coins
Better on B l a c k M a g i c
Todays challenge on www.photochallenge.org/ was "Bank"
Which if I had been in the city I would have plenty of options, but
had to take the day off to go to the Hospital with Lulu for her to
have a test, and she isnt feeling that well so didnt feel like heading
out so made do with what I have at home, we dont have a piggy bank as
such but do have a few jars filled with coins, so used them for this
shot, went perhaps a bit overboard, well a lot in the processing, but
thought it brought out both the detail and the gunk that build sup on
coins, I can see why some people in banks wear gloves now
TGIF, have a good weekend everyone

As an American Italian; That's why I prefer to Launder money than to bank it... ;-)
Nice Capture!

Ugh ! Looks like you've turned a microscope on the coins... I think money will all but go away eventually as we all use plastic more and more...
trykemom (43 months ago | reply)
That is some interesting processing. I like the larger curve on the right that frames all the other curves.

I love the blue cast here -- great tones. Also impressive composition and focus. I had it in mind to do something with loose change, but am glad I didn't since yours is so much nicer than what I would have accomplished!

Haha Least Trubbs can say her 2 cents worth I'd be saying my 10 cwnts worth, the green tint makes it look really cool like dirty copper should look. Regatta OK didn't really enjoy it just wasn't into it for some reason but have hopefully got some cool koru shots am about to upload from camera, say Hi to Lulu and I hope she's OK
