    That is a nice picture! It looks well lit, well focused and with good color.

    Nice job.

    There you go, just click on the image and save it to your files. I think a solid background makes the coin pop out more.

    A nice OP coin for sure. A different portrait style for Macrinus.

    The sharp and clear photo is fine in many ways but I see no reason to cut it so closely on all sides and certainly not clipping off the bottom. I would prefer the right facing obverse photographed with light coming from the top/right for better modelling on the face but the left facing reverse is fine as it is.

    Hmmm, I actually kinda like your cool-gray background (it's a cool style => a style you could call your own!!)

    :rolleyes:

    Oh, but I totally agree with Doug that you should back-up a bit and show the entire coin (great coin by the way ... congrats)

    I like the back background also. It highlight the coin quite well.
