<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2307400, member: 76194&quot;]Here, I&#039;ll put both images side by side for contrast. It will help see the color difference between Maximian which is definitely greenish and Diocletian who is quite brown:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464548[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464547[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I think when viewed against each other you can definitely tell Maximian is greenish. You are right though that I muddled some of the green a little, which is a small sacrifice I had to make in the process of trying to capture the legend of the coin in higher detail, as the heavy green patina makes it somewhat more difficult to read in the hand. I had to play with the angles of the&nbsp; light, and over-saturate the coin with light a little, to try to get the legend to pop out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I honestly don&#039;t think I did anything wrong by that, as I&#039;m not covering up any defects or trying to make the coin appear as something it is not. Yes, the green is a little more muted in the photograph, but I achieved the desired effect of photographing the legend in more detail. Maybe as my skill improved I&#039;ll be able to capture the best of both world better without sacrificing any element.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
