I understand you spent all your money on the lastest 100mm L IS, but I'm sure you still have a coin or banknote laying around somewhere...
Or perhaps now its time to show that old coin you found while playing as a kid
By now you should probably know what to do, but try to suprise us with a diferent prespective/compositio​n if the classic coin on white surface isn't working.

"V-cent piece"

Competition is now closed....

first I would like to congratulate everyone for participating

two pictures caught my attention, the "Holocaust survivor" by Daniel2000 and "V-cent piece" by Jason C.

The first one for the extra work of putting it into context plus using the text as surface, good DOF and vignetting.
The second one for the scars detail on his face, and the DOF is just about perfect.

well, since there can be only one, I pick "V-cent piece" as the winner of this week challenge.

The detail of the coin is a truly macro job (although the lens isn't).

Congrats Jason C, good work!

Congrats Jason C
and looking forward to your topic pick for the next Macro DSLR Speed Challenge

Canon G10.
Not a DSLR so I am not sure if this will do.

monty28428,
I like "Tip of the pyramid" the folding gives it a 3d look, nice

congrats Jason C

and thanks for the "almost win"...

Congrats Jason - wonderful shot!! Now you have two challenges to judge (I'd feel sorry for you but...well you deserve it!)

Nice go at it everybody

Daniel -- I loved that shot from the get go even though it took a bit to understand the title.

John -- Great idea - and i like your 2 cents worth

I had a different idea in mind with the folds but I just never found the angle/dof I wanted.

Sorry for the delay, I just got home...looong day. Thank you Warl0rd for both the competition and the nod. So we got a buck 07 USD, and a pennie CAD. Daniel, monty and John, excellent captures, well done.

When I set up to shoot this challenge, I was going to focus my attention on pennies, silver coins and the Pocahantas [Sp] dollar. I had a handful of the newer nickels, which I do not like, and decided not to shoot them. I wasn't getting what I had envisioned with my original plan, so i grabed the nickels, shook 'em up and poured them onto my shooting surface and began shooting, occaisionally adjusting the light source . The above shot was #6 of the nickel shots, and the nickel pics yeilded the best results for me. Note to self; don't count anything out for a shoot.

I'll have the new MACRO speed challenge #46 up shortly.

Thanks again!!!

Jason C

Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #46 is UP...enjoy.

Jason C

Sorry I missed this round. I enjoyed seeing what folks shot for the theme this time around. When I had the money theme, I couldn't play, so I wanted to this time. Hopefully I'll get over this bug soon!

Good choice on the win, warl0rd, and congrats, Jason!
