The piled up pennies gives a feeling of scales of an animal. Very interesting idea. The composition would really be brought out if lighting was from the sides so that highlights and shadow would make the subjects pop out of the shot. Currently the hotspot on the one penny is distracting. "7'
This is a good take on the Challenge. Maybe a little hot on some of the pennies, but not bad. To make this really interesting, you might try adding another shape or contrasting color as a foil. Nevertheless, it's a creditable job!
That over exposed penny hurts this a lot. The focus seems just a tad off, but I think that might have been OK. One question: why are all the pennies the same? Why not an old one thrown in to give a different but similar thing to look at?
Too much of a direct reflection, and too much brighter than the rest of the coins - in short the balance of the light you've used to reflect, and the ambient lighting is too heavy. Wiped out almost all details in that bright coin, which because of its brightness is what really draws the yee in this shot. And with the detail goes the texture.

+ There are textures present.
- One coin is almost overexposed and that is distracting; photo doesn't have a long attention span.
Got the idea and I see the texture, but the lighting needs improvement. The bright glare off of the one penny, while it may be intentional, just detracts IMO. Focus is good.
