Justin...got a couple of these in my bedside drawer. Boy, do I get tired of those clunking pound coins! Wonderful Macro! Fremiet

Thank you all. I took a few dozen shots of it, and ended upreally liking the close-up detail shots of the note. I experimented with lighting from behind with a halogen desklight diffused through white paper, which showed more texture, and let me put the pound note right against the UV filter on the extension tube.

Lots of fabulous textures and patterns in this shot, Justin. Lots to see here, too.
