Such a gorgeous way to give tribute to your dad Mark. This medal sure looks gorgeous. What did he get it for? Fabulous close up and wonderful colours, detail and clarity.

I love it Mark. You took something that was really significant to you and found a way of turning it into a terrific image. Do you know what your Dad got the medal for?

Good photo of the Normandy Invasion Campaign Medal Mark. At least it appears to be connected with that. Nice tribute to your father. He would be glad you shared.

10/10 for two reasons in this case = first the emotional and second the artistic presentation which is SUPERB !!!!!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
