    Take 2: Time and Money - Pt. 2

    I finally got around to re-taking the time and money shot which I posted last week. Click here if you want to see the original shot again. I took the comments and removed some pennies and put in some dimes, as well as made the lighting better so that it is not blown out anymore. Let me know what you think.



    QUESTION: Is it just my computer, or does the photo not show up for anyone else? Recently, my photos have not loaded within the IMG tags - including one that had worked before.

    good composition, good style, just needs a bit of curves to make it pop!

    Nice detail on the coins, so you certainly improved the lighting. The only suggestion I would make is to cool down the colour temperature a little.

    Accepted photo standards in technique and composition are the tools used to judge photo quality.

    This is verry good, I like the composition, however the color of the quarters is off to me, i would like to see the quarters shine more. The color of the pennes is okay, the color of the dimes is off too.,I know that it is hard to put light on a shinny quarter and still get the right detail, I don't know what you could have done differnt to improve the lighting, but if you change that maybe you can get the right color..

    Others have said that and I agree. I used the right white balance for the type of light I used, so I think what I would do is play around with it on my computer and see what I can do for the colors. I've done it before on a similar shot but I forget exactly what I did. I'll just have to figure it out and maybe post it as a reply when I get around to it. I basically just need to make the silver coins look more silver, without messing up the pennies too much, and keeping the warm glow that the photo has.
