Dino,i prefer your foto instead of dealers..
Your foto has a lot of character,and gives a feeling to the
portrait.
Just a small beam of light on frond
face and back of
head(in your foto) helps
portrait to be "removed" from background,because makes the edges of
portrait so intense!
This help's us to concentrate to the
portrait,not the empty
flan,or the background talking general..
Is exactly like cinema,movies.You have seen million times a
portrait(close-up) of an actor at night.Light only at crucial parts of
portrait,and a back light to
help the edges (hair,hats etc) to be raised from the black backgroung,and give us a clear
portrait impression.
Dealers foto is completely FLAT looking,and full of unwanted reflections.
In my opinion your foto helps coin look better.
Of course,this is only my opinion
