<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3147413, member: 19463&quot;]IMO your photograph is close enough to what I would call excellent that what is left is more a matter of opinion than a right/wrong situation.&nbsp; I mention my opinions here not as corrections but as questions for thought or discussion.&nbsp; Every computer is just a little different and few of us have calibrated screens using some hard and fast standards.&nbsp; What looks better on my screen might not look better on yours and might really look bad on someone else&#039;s Mac or phone.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]805753[/ATTACH] </p><p>I always leave a lot more blank space around images than you did.&nbsp; This looks better to me than being cut right on the edges of the flan.&nbsp; You need not do what I do forcing images into a 3:2 proportions.&nbsp; I frequently have 4x6 prints made and using that proportion from the start makes it easier when I make prints at Costco whose defaults would crop into coins if I did not.&nbsp; I told you these things were minor and just opinions.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I took out a little contrast and lightened up your image just a little bit to make it look better on my laptop.&nbsp; Another problem is less than high end computer monitors (like my laptop) often change density according to the degree of tilt to your face.&nbsp; Tall people have to point the screen up a bit more than I do.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any way we can correct this but you might make my photos look better to you with a little change in screen tilt.&nbsp; I notice this change a lot less on larger monitors.&nbsp; I also notice minor differences on some browsers and other programs.&nbsp; I have mine set to give me what I want on paper prints made where I get prints made but the difference is really not all that much (which means my wife does not notice it).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Agree.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is <u>great</u> to see so many people here on CT caring enough about their photographs that we get to see pretty glamour coins rather than fuzzy driver&#039;s license quality ID shots.&nbsp; It does not come easily without practice.&nbsp; I keep telling myself that I should stop buying coins that I know will be hard to photograph (but I don&#039;t listen).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
