Nice composition, good job on using that depth of field. I like the angle, the photo is very eye catching. The only thing I would have tried differently would be to get more of the reflection into the photo, but can't really see from here what that would have looked like.
Composition-good job bringing the eye to the coin. Nice use of diagonal lines, selective DOF to isolate the subject. Background-Subject to background relationship may be misunderstood by some. Camera Work/Technical- What can I say its very good! Overall Opinion- A good shot. No big emotional thing happening, but the overall technical outweighs that part. The use of a foreign coin does bring a lot of interest to it and in fact may tie the background in by featuring a queen. Overall I like it. ... 8.
OK, this is going to sound hypercritical (like I couldn't think of anything else to say) and in some respects, I guess it is. I can't see anything about the photo I would "fix". Nice focal depth, good lighting and contrast, etc. But the photo as a whole just doesn't do it for me. That's not doing anything to my score (it's very high), but I thought you might like to know.That's just a personal thing and you are certainly welcome to ignore it.
OK, I KNOW you are probably hearing a ton of comments about how good this would be for next weeks challenge, so I wont go there. Instead, I'll say that this is an excellent photo, great dof and clarity on the coin. I like how the coin's reflection was contained within the dark square. Well Done!
