 This photo was taken in my garage. I wanted to contrast the gray cement with the sheen of the metal. NOT edited other than resizing to contest standards. Constructive criticism welcome.

The idea is too cliched, and the execution isnt interesting enough to make up for it. Though the picture is good, it doesnt grab attention.

Didn't really do anything for me - maybe if the penny was larger, the background more interesting/colorful, not as much reflection off the penny?

Too much space around the coin for my liking and I'm also not keen on the glare that seems to be from a direct flash.
Think I would have tried a lower indirect light and a long time exposure, then crop it a bit tighter. All my opinion of course and I'm no expert lol.
