Stephane, I've followed your penny shots in the challenges with interest. I like the simple composition and lighting in this one. The DOF is also very effective. Love the shimmering copper particles in the dark background. Interesting and well taken. MFC

Yes I did, Jerry. The copper dust is coming from the penny. I had ground the penny. If you look carefully, you can see a mark on the penny (right in front of the ‘copper hill’.

Nicely done, Stephane. Did you really go through the trouble of making copper filings to do this shot?

Nice composition - I like the very narrow area of focus, and all the shiny copper dust! What do you do to your pennies?
