•  Support - Very interesting picture. I've never heard the expression "miner's dollar" before, so I Googled it. Is this how you understand the name came about, that it was so-called because miners brought them out of the mines in their lunchboxes? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:17, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't think that the name is choosen upon smuggling it out of the colliery in a lunch box. I rather presume that the name origines from the round form and the golden shine. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 22:47, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose sorry, but the free-form select work isn't optimal. Otherwise nice. I prefer the original, without the free-form select work. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:01, 12 November 2016 (UTC) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:03, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

With 32 single photos, the backdrop rendered after stacking to an awful background. I rather decided to get rid of it. I produced another version with artificial background, but for FP I didn't wanted to offer photoshoppped backgrounds. However, I respect your opinion. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 22:49, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

CEphoto, Uwe Aranas mal auf Deutsch: die Kanten, vor allem unten links sehen ziemlich unnatürlich aus. Es sieht mir nach "schlecht" freigestellt aus. Kannst Du das verifizieren bzw. bestätigen? --Alchemist-hp (talk) 23:28, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

 Done Yes, you are right. I reworked this part. Should be much better now. Thanks for hinting this. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 08:41, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Now  Support. Thnaks for your work. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:03, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
