Description

Both are commemorative dollar coins. And more importantly, I'm now the proud owner of a light tent--this is the first picture!

Congratulation on acquiring your light tent, Ken! If this is a sample of your work, I am sure we will be enthralled with your future images.
This is a really delightful capture. #622220

Wow--this I like! Great composition, color and detail. I love the selective focus on the flat coin--almost a reflective effect. What's a light tent :) ? #4064716
