<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7776605, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with those who approve of the price BUT the photo needs another try IMO. Yes, I realize the coin is a brightly shined mirror but you still need to photograph it with a color other than stark and detail free white and black shadows.&nbsp; Digital photos like we use here allow 256 shades of each of the three primary colors Red, Green and Blue. Most of your photo is level 256 brightness. The problem is that the camera record no difference between a tone that is full white and one with twice or ten times as much light so you can not just take this file and darken it down in software.&nbsp; I would suggest shooting the coin again using softer, less glaring light so you have a little more progression from gray to white.&nbsp; Blast white and pitch black coins are harder to photograph than those in the middle but your could do with a bit less brightness and contrast. In time, this coin might tone down and be quite pretty.&nbsp; Of course I do prefer black backgrounds but that is just a matter of choice.</p><p>light (VF)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333912[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>a bit more toned (VF)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333906[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it really is red (aVF)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333914[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
