Photo preference?

Hi all,
I was wondering which of the following two images you prefer. The top is from the auction house I purchased the coin from (Goldberg - an Euainetos decadrachm), and the bottom is my image. The Goldberg picture captures more of the luster but isn't quite as sharp. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Your image (bottom). And an incredible piece, too. I grade it exquisite.

Awesome piece and imagery.

Bottom image is better, the top is overexposed. And, WOW! What a beautiful coin! I love the quadriga, and the colors around the periphery of the reverse are just stunning.

I like your photo better, the goldberg image is great, but you have an amazing talent for photographing your ancients
and that is a hell of a coin, I remember it from the 100 Greatest Ancient Coins book, you should create a thread for it and school us about it

The shadowing on the face on the top image makes it look a bit odd. The bottom is much better. Beautiful coin, too!

Amazingly beautiful coin! And I agree, your image is the better of the two.

Thanks everyone! I will indeed make a more descriptive thread about my deka, as soon as I manage to find some free time to do so!

The one you took is the better image.

While this has not happened to me at Goldberg's, I am tired of having coins bought at other auction houses being darker in hand that they are after magical photo tricks.
