<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2042763, member: 19165&quot;]I know that TruViews are very popular, and there is no doubt that there is high skill there. However, I find that TruViews generally look more like cartoons or caricatures of the actual coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is some art and subjectivity in taking a photo. You can&#039;t completely reproduce the look of the coin in hand, so the photographer has to choose which aspects to emphasize. Some choose luster, some choose color, some choose to show the surfaces (marks, strike, etc). It also largely depends on the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I personally prefer a well balanced picture. Rather than emphasizing any single aspect to perfection, i prefer a photo that balances all of them. This, to me, is the most honest approach. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think you need to explain professional photographs when you post them, unless they are egregious. If the picture accurately portrays the coin (or one aspect of the coin), with no intent to decieve, then I don&#039;t see a problem with it. If the coin in hand doesn&#039;t really look like the picture, then a couple of words explaining it would probably be in order (especially if you are trying to sell the coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
