This is something really cool to do! I love the composition, perspective and colors! Hope you do well!

Almost like a revers leading lines. Nice work!

I love this. Squished many pennies in my day.

I'd vote higher if the top and bottom borders weren't here. They really distract from the image.
Post actions
I've heard of doing this but I've never done it myself, I like the darkness of this picture.

cool idea, and very well executed. how did you think of such a photo? great dof, its prefect. lovely texture on the track-8
Post actions
Nice simple shot. I like the perspective as well.
Post actions
Yeah... we used to flatten copper coins that way too. Fun. Nice shot.
Post actions
I remember doing this as a kid :) Nice DOF
Post actions
Great simplicity. Great story in this shot.

Good lighting on the coin and the rail. The background may be a tad too dark, but it provides a great canvas for the rail and coin.

Excellent perspective and composition, it brings memories.

Well composed and framed.

LOve the shallow DOF ... great leading line
Post actions
Bet the RR loves you. I think that is called a roller press... Interesting vanishing point, and copper against the rail steel.
Post actions
imo it would be better if the background had a bit more detail

a little lacking interest wise

Cool prespective. The lighting is prefect. Nice work!

Brilliant. Would love to see this in black and white to add to the already effective abstract nature of this.
Post actions
wonderful DOF...crisp focus, excellent colors
Post actions
different way to photograph a railroad track and this works, very crisp and clean, good luck
Post actions
neat perspective brings back memories of my youth
Post actions
I've always wanted to try this. Good composition.
Post actions
I used to do this when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.

The lighting really makes this shot. Wonderful pov, great lines and dynamics. The copper penny is a real standout.
Post actions
Great perspective and DoF. Nice color of the coin in combination with the background.
Post actions
Good detail and nice lighting.
Post actions
I like the tones and leading lines. Maybe I'm demented, but I think it would be better if the penny was heads and facing the camera, would add some personificaton 7
Post actions
well composed image, great dof and great light.
Post actions
Now I love this photo because I relate to it. Who hasn't done this before. Parents give you a dime, nickel, quarter and have the train flatten it. Nice work and interesting subject. Would have been interesting to see what would have been if you could have the sides completely black and only have the penny and rail lighted. Don't know what would have been in that shot if at all possible.
Post actions
I'm not sure thats a great idea ;-)
Post actions
Great composition! Love the lines. :)

there is a mood to this shot despite its simplicity. nice texture and lighting.
Post actions
I really like the contrast, DOF and lighting of this. You've also capture the texture of the train track very well. Nicely done.
Post actions
good fous and DOF. the border rather hurts the image IMO
Post actions
Really nice shot. I love the detail you shot in the penny. The leading lines of the track take the eye pleasantly through the scen.
Post actions
Post actions
Should've used a quarter! Just kidding. This made me smile. Nice use of DOF and vanishing point. Good luck in the challenge.
Post actions
Lord. I got arrested for doing that when I was 15! BOL
Post actions
fantastic DOF ... the copper penny really pops off of my screen ... draws me in and I'm also waiting for the train ... congrats on a great image!
Post actions
Great perspective and DOF! Excellent deail in the coin. Looks like a blurbaby shot and very well done! 9
Post actions
I use to do this in my childhood.
Post actions
going to try to squeeze a little more out of it?
Post actions
Looks like a highway, lines and a circle.
