Which image do you prefer?

Been working with Maddy Rae's (www.madisoncollection.net) Photoshop templates and Mark Goodman's book (Numismatic Photography).

 

How much info do you put on an image? Is diameter and thickness text an adder or detractor?

 

Suggestions for improvement are welcome!

 

Image manipulation was done with the "free photoshop" - GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

I like the second but instead of rim & dia. I would think that maybe metal content or even yr of production would be better if you wanted to add more info to it.

I don't find the extra information at all distracting.

Thank you for setting up the poll. I don't have a clue how to do that, but its a neat idea.

 

Cheers,

first one

 

second one is washed out i bet the first one is what the token looks like in hand

I think you should move all of the text to the bottom leaving the fonts as is.

 

That's a really nice looking image of your token and I Iike the reflection that have been added. (thumbs u What is the process for creating those reflections?

To be honest, they are both SUPERB photos. Well exposed, well focused, good white balance. I honestly can't criticize those photos in any meaningful way.

 

That said, I prefer the second photo -- the first one looks to my eye to be just a touch underexposed. However, it really depends on what the coin looks like in-hand as the first photo may be more accurate....Mike

Hmm tough choice... Both images are nice.
