Here is a list of the previous Macro DSLR Speed Challenges

Way to go brecklundin & Lyshk0! Great shots everyone.

Thanks for judging, John.

Excellent choices John!

COOL, how fun...everyone did a really nice job. From a roll of the dice to spirls to feathers to all the colors in the rainbow (what was that from?) to feathers. John made my day...my two personal favorites were the genodm's peacock feather and Lyshk0's spiral (is that a spring?)

And to explain the title and nope, not a porno title...ya naughty folks you! ...it was a clue to what the actual item was/is...it is the top of a thimble. Hence the "Gotta Block those Leetle Pricks". After all those needles are sharp. Here is a shot of the whole thing:

Close up of the leather cover of one of the volumes of my 4 volume 1892 Don Quixote set. That's real gilding!

Dave....I just looked at what your shot is from. Nice!! Don Quixote is one of my favorite stories/characters. The silly books have a lot to offer us about life, much of which is very easy to forget these days. You are right the gilding is amazing on that cover. You simply do not find that sort of craftsmanship anymore. What a nice treasure for your collection.

After some anxious moments here is the Macro Speed Challenge #5:
