Photographer’s Notes Not that easy to photograph an element but silver came to mind and the US Silver Dollar was something I had. It was pretty grungy so I cleaned it up with some silver polish. It is real silver after all.
I suspect we’ll see a bunch of silverware (which mostly isn’t silver anymore) and maybe some chrome bumpers.
It’s a simple image, and possibly not that interesting.

Dr. Confuser seems like confused himself this time, or you were working on this photo while doing some upside down yoga!? :)
Advance editing lets you to clean the scratch on this lady's face, and actually basic editing even lets you rotate images, which you should be rotating this picture to earn few more votes... did you protest DPC or something LOL
Good macro photo. Sharp, very nice, I really love the quality of it, I like the crop, very simple and clean (well, besides the scratch on her face)
You got 5.5 because of the subject matter and the quality of this photo. If you didn't do yoga, you probably would get around 5.8 and maybe 6. who knows.
I looked at your page, and nice work you have there. You do also have lots of practice, but you must check out the previous winners and get some examples and try to replicate those just for study purpose. You are here for a long time, a ribbon long due for you, so go get one :)
Just don't do head-down yoga and photography same time LOL
Good luck

Thanks for the thoughtful critique, I appreciate it. So you know, I shoot for me and not really for ribbons or popular acclaim. In this particular case, I was thinking about the financial crisis and the battering the dollar has taken and there is an element of political commentary in the photo. The orientation was purposeful and preserving the scars on Liberty was purposeful. At least PhotoInterest got the irony.
