<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3624106, member: 56859"]Hmm... I'm going to go against the grain here and say I prefer the auction house images.* I'd probably like yours better if they were lit differently. I'd prefer lighting from the top (~1:00-2:00 for the obverse, ~11:00 for the reverse). With mild obliquity to the plane of the coin, with the right camera settings, and with tilting the coin very slightly towards the light, you can probably make that iridescence pop while preserving the presumably dark toning. The coin's reverse in particular loses detail in the newer images.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love your water background although always worry about bronze disease when you use it for AE coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>* I feel uncomfortable giving this critique since my own images are inconsistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
