This is a case of never say die, (although the fly is actually dead). I entered a similar pic in the 'Bummer' comp and it turned out to be just that!
Later, while flicking through archives I came across a pic containing similar elements by [user]Jacko[/user]. I then realized why mine hadn't done so well!
They say you learn a lot from DPC and so I reapplied myself to the task and here is the result...


( I used a combination of natural light and bounced flash. I also used +3 stops of exposure compensation in-camera)

Beautifully shot. Perfect stock shot! Lovely macro!
This just doesn't say "affluence". Would have been better in the "Money Challenge" IMHO

haha. hilarious and disgusting. very nice macro, great detail. In the context of the title and challenge, I'd like to sit a bit more of the coin, but that's just my opinion. This is a phenomenal shot. Crisp and clean.
