Hi folks - I need your help again. This is specimen #3 I could use your opinions on. I attempted to soften the lighting without losing details (e.g. the steps) but a partial compromise. I'll attempt some soften lighting a bit more to draw out details, but these are reasonably good.

Let me know your thoughts and thank you for having a look!

64-RD (field marks on the obverse keep this from a 65 IMHO).

Do you do Photoshop? If so, try blending the two (maybe as Smart Objects) and play with the opacity of each. Just seems like the first is too harsh and you lose detail with the softer light.

Hi folks - I changed my desk and lighting setup a few months back and since I've not played enough with the set up and lighting to knock down glare and maintain detail. Unfortunately the time I get is limited and late at night. Just some added challenge.
