The shortest delay between idea and upload of final picture. Sunday night, no idea what to do. See the $.05 piece, get the idea. Shoot 4 pictures, take the best one, edit a bit, and submit. Total time: 15 minutes.
Dang I wish we could spot edit.
shot with Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX Macro lens.

I still say "Wow" when I look at this! I remember being very jealous and even mad at you after reading the details. I still can't believe it only took you 15 minutes. It's just not right! lol A great photo!
Great macro work, amazing detail down to the tiny scratches in the coin. Alot of depth too, the lighting and shadows around the raised lettering really make it pop.
Ha! *ahem* Nice composition, and good detail for a macro. I like the gradient in the top right corner - nice trick of the light. I really wish I had the camera with a decent macro mechanism...with mine, it's zoom in as far as possible, hold it as close as possible, and hope the autofocus can handle it.
Ah, i see, a quarter nickel! Very clever. The focus is really awesome, almost to the point of it being slighlty oversharp when it comes to the dust and scratches. Great tones.
This composition is very balanced, and because of that doesn't feel 'off-center' to me, particularly. It's a GORGEOUS crisp macro, beautifully lit, though.
