Oppose (sorry) Pretty pic but hard to see the details of the coins in very back and the one in right front (focus). Also some are obscuring parts of each other.TCO (reviews needed) 05:58, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Poor lighting, blown highlights, too shallow depth of field, poor framing. - Zephyris _Talk 16:52, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close. It's a nice idea but unfortunately this is never going to pass FP standards, it doesn't have great EV and the quality isn't all that, per comments as mentioned above. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 23:22, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plus the coins are of mixed denominations, not showing for example 1 dollar, 1 pound etc, its got 1 penny alongside much higher value mixed currencies which has little value imho. Also they are on a random surface. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 08:02, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Count me in the Opposes, but it is listed on the Coin article...which would be illustrated by this. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 09:01, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Not a candidate for speedy close, does a good job of showing coins in their natural habitat. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Artistic, but Encyclopedic Value (i.e. how well the picture illustrates the topic) is of utmost importance in Featured Pictures at Wikipedia. This would probably be a better candidate at commons:Commons:Featured pictures, but depth of field and blown highlights are issues here. We certainly appreciate your nomination, Yahboo, and I hope you will take this not as rejection, but as constructive criticism. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 09:01, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
