    Nicely taken, Donell!
    This brings back many memories!
    I really like the monotone treatment and lighting used here!
    Well done!

  • Thank you! The lighting was a fluke as I tried different ways to shoot this coin. This was natural light. I don’t even think I could duplicate the condition :-)

    Excellent B/W with good details.

  • Thanks so much! I actually didn’t desaturate this at all. The lighting and white balance used produced this in camera.
