I'd like to assemble a 'photo' album of my coins with descriptions and info. 
Which of the five formats below do YOU prefer.
Thanks for your input.
The poll is "anonymous", not that I think that matters in this case.

This is a public poll: others will see what you voted for.

Your labels need to be brighter by 50%
To be quite honest, I don't care for any of them, but I voted for A.
Later, Paul.
Lacking a none of the above, I can't vote. I think way too much of each picture is devoted to the label. I'd do side-by-side, and if you really want to show the label, put it top/center with each side of the coin covering part of the lower corner of the label. If it helps, D and E are much worse than the others.
I agree with the above posters that your label can be brighter and not as large. There are a number of posters who use the coins side by side with the label either top/bottom in the center, corners partially obscured by the coins, as @airplanenut stated. I just use text in the background to relay coin info rather than the label. That allows me to use the same format for any grading service and for raw coins.
If I could edit the poll I would add "none of the above"

I like A & D
BHNC #203
A...seems most likely to me.
E all the way.
Maybe A
Agree with Jeremy. Too much label, not enough coin on all
Coin in the holder pic is not necessary. Label and big view is important. Peace Roy

I prefer D, and second choice would be A..... Cheers, RickO
C .
Was a tough choice between A & C. I agree to make the label a much lighter shade of grey.
Since 'A' is "winning", I brightened up the label

I think @airplanenut and @mvs7 nailed it.
