    Never did understand numismatism :D

    Nice shot. Personally I'd crop in from the left to a vertical running from the hairline/middle of the forearm as I find the bulk of the shoulder and arm a bit overpowering. This would change the orientation to portrait which focuses the attention more on the subject matter/second guy as well as enhancing the depth of the shot.

    Your crop works well, but I kind of liked the immediacy of the big guy. I almost got an elbow in the lens on that one, so I figured I had to keep it. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Ben. The crate didn't bother me--till you mentioned it lol3.gif. I don't think I want to crop it as it would put the guy with the beard too close to the edge. Mabye burn it a little, or even a lot. thumb.gif

    Or crop below the close guy's chin and have a bunch of hands grabbing the money along with the bearded guy...

    I like the intensity you captured with him. He looks like a serious collector and is likely inspecting closely the grading of the coin to see if the value is there. Or not mwink.gif.
