solid photo contest #1 - Everyone welcome - Ends in a week!

For this contest I wanted to try to keep things very simple, allow for the most contestants, and make it fast-paced.
Here's the rules:
1) The subject coin should be an MS Lincoln Cent dated 2000 or later (no proofs, but 2005 satin mint coins are ok).
2) Please send one .jpg photo showing both obverse and reverse - no larger than 500 x 1000 pixels.
3) Entries must be received by 12pm CST, Thursday, Dec 8. Send your photo by PM, or email to: ken@solidcoin.com
4) The poll will be for "favorite" photo, however the voter wants to define it.
5) 1st Prize will win a solid-craft 1-coin Desktop Showcase outfitted for both PCGS & NGC coins.
The goal of this contest is to help educate on photo setups and techniques, so any specifics you can
include regarding camera, lighting, setup, software, etc. is appreciated. I'll post this information for
each photo after the voting is completed.
If this goes well, I have a few more ideas along these lines for future contests.
Have received the following entries:

They were sent as an invitation from ftroa@yahoo.com and the site was webshots.com
I had problems because of time restrictions; trucker not much access to web.
Hope you were able to see and retrive them for me.
Thanks Earl
