I saw your earlier shot, but didn't have time to comment then. I recall liking the lighting better on the prior shot---really liked the effect of a "ring" of highlights around the edge of each raised surface as well as the edge of the coin. Each of the edges has a "harder" look now, probably due in part to your more aggressive use of PP. ---Chris

Great retake, Racketman. Much more punch here. I was just wondering if H.M. here could be easily taken as an ordinary 'people' sample.

...just kidding, mate. Nice sharp, contrasty shot.

Thanks to Jason for critique of previous effort at this subject. Took a new shot with tripod/self-timer to get sharp as possible. Played around with contrast/hue/USM. Hopefully this has a bit more 'bite'?
