taken with my beloved 50mm macro lens, lite by 1 tungston lamp.
IN PS-
rotated 90*CCW
slected the cion and and took it to B&W
then inverted the coin and made a series of Brightness, Contrast, and Curve adjustments
slected the rest of the image and applied brightness and contrast till everything but the coin went black
croped up till the head was almost fill frame as it is now

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.
