<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1455048, member: 22585&quot;]I know I am not the only one who enjoys looking at images of coins.</p><p>With the coin photo contest going on, and a lot of newer members getting into the imaging scene, I thought I would take a poll.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am just curious how you think the backdrop for a&nbsp; coin image should look.</p><p>Everyone has their own style and use various colors and effect for their images.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I created a few different styles, and would like to hear some opinions. Voting in the poll is great, but I would like to know why you chose a particular one.</p><p>I realize it does depend on the coin itself. For example, dark/brown copper doesn&#039;t really fair well with black backgrounds. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My personal preference is generally a white background. The main reason for this, is the forum pages are usually white, and I like how the image just blends in and makes the coin appear to &quot;float&quot;.&nbsp; I do like the reflection, but just a little. I feel too much reflection distracts from the coin itself. Blah blah...let&#039;s get to it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Which of the following backdrop styles, would you prefer when displaying your coins? </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><b>1.
