Pierre the Banker!  You know, that coin in the upper left looks like you ;-)... Mike

Nice layout and collection. Regards, Lawrence

it's made of ATOMS.

 

nicely done. obviously composited, but not obviously so. or so. best, j

Mike it does look like him, impressive, very impressive 

Ah. You must be ar rich man. I guess this is the top of your Money bin.

Hi, Pierre. The first thing that came to mind when I saw this image, was the song, "Money" by Pink Floyd. I see that under the coins we have bills too ... will you be a rich man?

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

Welcome and thank you, Mike, Lawrence, Jamie, Tony, Eystein and Rosario!

 

Mike, it's the great ancient thinker Democritus!

 

Jamie, it's atom OK, but how it is obvious it's composite?

 

Eystein and Rosario, I am a rich man, yes!

 

Cheers to that

Nice picture, Pierre. The dream becomes reality.

Though they could be at random, the distribution of the silver coins (with the girl planting a tree) they generate a nice aesthetics, from something so simple as a heap of coins. Regards Pierre.

great collection!

Pierre,

  Wonderful creative image with great colors.  Take care, Patsy

You are rich, indeed - rich in photographic skill, knowledge, history and creativity, which is best of all. Who else can produce a work of art from an assortment of coins?  

 

My best always,

 

michael

at first, it's clear that the edges aren't quite right. no shadows, perhaps.

 

then, you can see that the light sources are in different places. best, j

Welcome and thank you, Jack, Efren, Maria, Patsy, Michael and Jamie!

 

Jack, my dream contains golden coins, a lots of golden coins!

 

Efren, the initial photo contained lot less coins and I didn't have time to arrange well the additional ones!

 

Michael, this is far from work of art in my humble opinion!

 

Bravo, Jamie

Bel mosaico con tutto quel che resta della...vecchia Europa monetaria!

Non e tutto che resta, grazie, amico mio!

Ciao Mau

Pietro il soddisfatto

 A rough guess: total sum four euros.

That's my two cents ;-)

cheers!

Sam

It would be a complex mathematical operation to count the whole sum, Sam!

 

The numismatic value is certainly more!

 

Thanks for dropping by!

A wonderful capture. Your images and many on Photo.net are great because I can learn something - photo technique, a variety of places, history, etc.  I did not know anything about Democritus but now I know just a little via Google University: 

 

Known as the 'laughing philosopher’ because of the importance he placed on 'cheerfulness’, Democritus was the first philosopher to posit that what we refer to as the 'Milky Way’ was the light of stars reaching our perception and that the universe may in fact be a multi-verse with other planets sustaining life (a theory which Physicists today are increasingly recognizing as mathematically probable).

 

All the best,

 

Welcome and thank you, Tony!

 

This isn't exactly a "shot", but pretty obvious montage which our friend Jamie Kraft so well detected and described!

 

Democritus is my favorite far ahead Aristotle!

 

Cheers to that

Tony gave us a lesson with his reference to a philosopher that is very important for enjoying every moment! You are the image philosopher! Warm regards.

Cheers to that!

 

Thank you, Jorge!
