This image is quite evocotive, and I realy like it, howver you do have to bare in mind that there will be a significant number who are like myself are non Americans and will not have the same assiciation with 1929 Wall Street Crash.

The UK depression was more focuseed in the mid 1930’s.

interesting but simple idea. I would have been nice if you could have done something more with it.

I would have gone with a title relating to the stock market crash instead, because I associate the '30s more with the Depression... in any case, the extreme narrow depth of field is distracting. I would have liked to have seen the whole penny in focus. Great idea, though, and the background choice complements the copper well. 7

Very shallow DOF. Could have used more.

Creative idea but image doesn't have much zing. Maybe different lighting or a darker background would help.

Good idea, I like the way you've focused on the date on the coin.

I understand the photo and the big crash of 1929 .... but the coin is mostly out of focus. If that's the intent of the photo I accept that but just don't understand.

Clever take; I think you will see your score hurt by the poor focus and tight crop, however.

Excellent use of blurring to capture just the date and the small amount of text at the top. Wonderful, creative shot! 9

Very well focused on a small part of a small object.

I like the way the year particularly is in focus.

Half of the penny is really burry!!! You should have fixed it.

where's the rest of the focus? unless this is supposed to be a link to 'IN 1929' i really don't understand the reason for such a shallow dof

edit: ok - just checked (i did not read the title till after) 1929 is the start of the american depression, apologies - bumping up score :)

wish the whole penny could be in focus.

The depth of field is too shallow in my opinion.
