Imagining Galaxies: Gardens in Kyoto and Coins for Luck

You will often encounter coins in ponds around gardens in Kyoto, thrown in by visitors for luck. Especially common are the whitish one yen coins because they are the equivalent of a "lucky penny." These make for fun subjects, even more so if you can incorporate them into interesting compositions. In Lightroom, rescue Highlights by reducing their exposure so that you can see the details in the bright coins, and add Contrast, Texture, and some Vibrance to the overall image.
