Almost straight from the camera, saturation boost, resized & unsharp mask.

Just trying to get back in the swing of submitting images.

I tried many different shots w/ different DOFs/etc but I liked the softness of this one best.

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: well thought out. leading lines from the red string add so much interest to an otherwise typical shot of coins.

color: the gold against the deep and bright reds make an interesting pair, both glimmering. also, the golds are a little dull, but thats a good thing, it adds to their conveyance of age.

contrast: perfect contrast, not too much, but just enough to separate the coins from each other

focus: very nice, i love the small sharpness area of just the one Chinese symbol, very symbolic.

depth of field:
beautifully creamy. Abstract, but with just enough detail to make the viewer understand what is in the image.

lighting:
again, well positioned to pinpoint the main focus of the image, which is the Chinese symbol on the one coin.

other:
I cant think of any way to improve upon this image. its beautiful in its simplicity, yet so strong and powerful with its message its saying. Shallow DOF really made this image stand out to me, and the voters agree. Keep up the awesome work, its wonderful to see you submitting again.
