Didn't think this photo had a top five in it. and I thank the voters for the surprise...I was just trying to be a little creative with my money shot...and for those who were wondering...No, the train wasn't moving...it was sitting on the tracks about 50 yards away waiting for some reason...I ran out laid the penny down..took 6 shots hand held...the train blared its horn...and I got out of there...thanks again...lol

Hehe, reminds me of my childhood days, we used to put coins on the tram railway in our neighbourhood and wait for the tram to splash it and make a moneypie :-)
I thought this was a pretty cool shot. I'd never done this but I bet it produces some interesting results. I thought the DOF was really great too. Congrats on the HM!
That's a daring image to take. It really conveys the train is coming - and you are on its way!
I'd like to see that penny after the train passed... lol.
where the shadow of the railroad ends at the bottom, there you have should cut the photo (remove that part), the white building distracts us too much, I must say great idea and courage for taking this shot :)
