Great coin :)

A suggestion-- the reverse devices might photograph better with low oblique light coming from ~4:00-5:00. In your photo, it's coming from directly opposite and is somewhat blocked by the (apparently) slightly upraised rim. I suspect the features would be displayed more attractively/accurately if lit from the other position.

Analysis noted and will reshoot...thanks TIF... I took several in hand photos and I think they do catch the shape of the coin more accurately.

Kidara reshoot...

I must say it is difficult to photograph with the old toning.

As you all know my photos are generally too dark. I would attribute this to a really bright screen. So after playing with my screen settings and toning it down a bit I was able to go back (with TIF's help, with a nice example of one of my photos reworked) and re tweak my photo to match my display settings and this is what I came up with, please comment.

I know thanks TIF!

After adjusting the screen I can see what all of you were saying. So many of my photos are barley discernible. How I have failed. I have so much work I need to do...
