A little bright.

the lighting seems a bit harsh

maybe next time use a less distracting background.

I would have used a poster board instead of the carpet.

Hmmm, yes it meets the challenge criteria, and it is cropped well, and it has interesting grain and colour, but it doesn't tell a story as such: I am not emotionally moved by the picture...it doesn't hold my interest...maybe a lack of mystery,story,detail that invites the viewer to spend some time looking at it...?

the coin seems to be a popular chioce, good macro tho

This photo came across as average for me. I can see some detail on the coins, but it is lost in other places and does not come across as done purposefully for artistic reasons. The lighting did not help with the strong reflections. Some kind of diffuser would help with that. 5

I would have liked more DOF but this is very nice.

I find the lighting a bit harsh in this.

Nice level of detail.

Yeah, *that* was a big success LOL! Would have liked an angle and DOF that showed off the unique odd edges on the coins better.
