[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 5125860, member: 85675"]Thanks John, while I was imaging that one I had a heck of a time seeing the stalks as I was trying to use those to gauge my contrast, on my computer monitor I couldn’t get them to look “right” no matter what I tried. I took a bunch of photos so I’ll see if there is a pair that I avoided that error. Thanks as always for the feedback, criticism is how I get better at all things so it is most welcome. Edit: These show a bit better contrast. I am using an older iMac for my camera display and I think my lack of solid monitoring (and possibly an inferior graphics card) may be hurting me here. Also, am I shooting way too far away? Looking at the full sized photo makes me think I probably am. This is a good representation of the look of the coin, it is neither solidly brown nor solidly blue, and very lustrous. In hand it has a grey/blue appearance. It does not have the "MS70" blue look at all. [ATTACH=full]1202817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1202818[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
