Unfortunately straight on, most of these have an angled look, I think the natural color of the coin should take precedence in these shots.

I like #4.

The thing is, what's the natural color of the coin? Hold it one way and it's brown. Rotate it 90° and it's greenish, turn around and all of the sudden it's red and blue, go into a different room and the blue disappears, and that's without trying to angle it to see all the colors at once. The typical "in hand" look is going to be somewhere between the flattest brownish green or brownish red picture you can get and the technicolor dreamcoat in the other poll.

If they were angled, one side of the coin would be a bit out of focus. I'm not seeing this. I know I used the same image on both shots with the slab flush on the table. Like John said, the coin has a different look at all angles. Indeed a toughie. I think everyone did very well. Does everyone still have all their hair?

OK I agree, I guess with the lighting I used I did not see the flourecent colors until I angled the coin. Guess it's back to the drawing board.

Now I know who took one of the pics.

No, the member's number is the same on both images.

Thanks. Looks like I chose second place in both of the polls...neither of which won the contest.
