Please critique these 3 pics

Comments

  • In my opinion, B is the best, and A is the worst. No matter what, discard whatever technique was used on A -- the pic is washed out and you can't see the coin. B appears as though it provides the best detail.

    Also, post higher resolution pics, if you can. You can do that quite easily by cropping the cardboard holder, just posting the coin, and not using jpeg compression. Makes a huge difference in photo quality.

    A sucks, it's a tossup between B and C. Now if you want to have some real fun, find a Mercury in a slab and try to image it.

    Yes, do that, so I and others can criticize the pics.

  • A is over exposed.
    B is okay
    The details in C are a bit soft.

    A - sharpest, but overexposed.
    B - better exposure, just a bit fuzzy
    C - a bit washed out (lower contrast)

    A is Overexposed... way too much light on it... B and C are close, but I like C a little better... Mercurys are tough, especially that top area above her head, it tends to be shadowed... a nice looking coin image Easy 66, probally 67 image

    A is too "hot".

    I don't see a whole lot of difference between B and C. They're purty good pics, I reckon- show plenty of detail without being too huge. Not too big, not too small. Just right, sizewise.
