Submitter's name:	Dan Mitchell
Title:	Rough diamonds.
Gear used:	OM2S + Vivitar 55/2.8 macro + T32 off-camera
Diaphragm:	f16
Shutter speed:	1/60
Film used:	Kodak Gold 100
Technical information:	Not much to note; flash held off to one side to try and get enough light to let me get a decent DOF without the lens shading everything too much.
Subject information:	The focus/zoom ring from a 65-200/4 lens. It looks almost completely clean to the naked eye, so I'm not sure what the dust-looking flecks are. Reflections, maybe?

A very familiar object well seen.

Nice depth of field on a curved object. Unless you looked at it through a microscope while you cleaned it, that probably is dust. I thought I had my macro tope entry clean, too.

Why does this make me think of an M.C. Escher drawing? Very well done!

Awesome idea! At first glance it looked like a steel surface. I had to look at the picture twice again after reading the description.

The gradiation in texture from forground to background makes this shot work.
