[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 227874, member: 17556"] Thank you for being clear that you are not put off by our criticism. Some of us can be hesitant at giving our honest input. There are a million ways this photo could have been taken. Some of those would have told the same story others would have told no story. The photo impact would have been different on all of the versions. I will again be honest and say that I think you were more wrapped up in actually taking the photo in manual mode than you were in actually setting up the photograph itself. I am guilty of this myself. A lot. I am also a relative newbie. I would liked to have seen either a better composition and focus on the pennies themselves, showing more detail and some dramatic lighting or a more intimate shot including the hands of the people handling the coins. Hands are incredible and tell a fabulous story. Look at the shot taken by siamthai1 in the November photo assignment winner thread.
