<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1164219, member: 30400&quot;]Pretty Morgan! Love the clean cheek, reverse fields, cool die crack. Must be gorgeous in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the photos are fine. More than acceptable. If you&#039;re like the rest of us you will forge on and make huge strides with lots of practice. You will be your toughest critic too. The key is experimenting. With everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I would like to see a little less exposure, and a little more contrast. The Morgan has wonderful relief and imaging to show its depths is important.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the idea of examining a coin before shooting it, and asking &quot;what should I emphasize (or de-emphasize)?&quot; Think a little about its best traits.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is your coin has superb luster and clean fields. So that&#039;s what you want to show off. Your photos look a little washed out, and crisp details in things like the separation of hair strands and feathers don&#039;t show as well as they should.</p><p><br /></p><p>The below examples show a Morgan with nice mirrors (though not PL or DMPL) and one with nice frost and luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just my opinions, FWIW. We all have our likes and dislikes. So take this advice with a grain of salt. Except for the part about keep at it!</p><p>Lance.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Morgans/34cfcc98.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Morgans/19021387.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Morgans/0e60351f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Morgans/b6f67380.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
