<p>[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 3406369, member: 17469"]Hard to judge on the color, since we have no idea what color the coins are. The hard light coming from the left down low is a bit much in my eye, and could be raised up. Also, most folks like using their own light source because it's repeatable and always the same color. The sun isn't, so you'll be re-doing lots of work for every shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your selections of ISO 800 and f/3.2 seem odd as well. Usually you'd want the lowest possible ISO value (I presume you're on a tripod or something?) and an f-stop more like f/8 to increase the depth of field. Those images are soft, and a smaller aperture would probably help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
