Nice composition, good job on using that depth of field. I like the angle, the photo is very eye catching. The only thing I would have tried differently would be to get more of the reflection into the photo, but can't really see from here what that would have looked like.

There's excellent detail on the coin and the chess set makes an interesting background.

My best color shot this week, one of my 5 best and a 10.

Originality, technical quality and overall composition make this one of my 5 best.

Comment by Dangerous_blues:
Composition-good job bringing the eye to the coin. Nice use of diagonal lines, selective DOF to isolate the subject. Background-Subject to background relationship may be misunderstood by some. Camera Work/Technical- What can I say its very good! Overall Opinion- A good shot. No big emotional thing happening, but the overall technical outweighs that part. The use of a foreign coin does bring a lot of interest to it and in fact may tie the background in by featuring a queen. Overall I like it. ... 8.

OK, this is going to sound hypercritical (like I couldn't think of anything else to say) and in some respects, I guess it is. I can't see anything about the photo I would "fix". Nice focal depth, good lighting and contrast, etc. But the photo as a whole just doesn't do it for me. That's not doing anything to my score (it's very high), but I thought you might like to know.That's just a personal thing and you are certainly welcome to ignore it.
