[QUOTE="coolhandred, post: 2193734, member: 73341"][IMG]http://www.freelargeimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Statue_Of_Liberty_04.jpg[/IMG] The obverse of the coin is poorly composed. The lettering of "LIBERTY" is totally out of scale as is the flag. These design elements crowd and thus dwarf the figure. Negative space is critically important to the overall composition, especially when working with a circular space. The 3/4 figure itself is sound, but with both arms angled holding the torch and flag staff at the same height a "W" design element is created which at first appears stiff. The concept of the design is good, the execution is lacking. I would have placed the torch in a raised hand, and the flag staff held by a lowering arm. The flag would then add distance lower and behind the figure. Similar to the Statue of Liberty composition.[/QUOTE]
