 Flattening coins on a railway track was always one of my favourite childhood pastimes. It combines excitement, mystery, danger and trespassing all in one fun package.

When I was at the age to be doing this we only used pennies.

Gosh, we used pennies. This is some inflation! I think I would like this better with a different orientation, giving more length to the track.

I like the shallow DOF. Good clarity on the rail and quarter. Terrific concept. You must have been rich to use quarters (we only flattened pennies). :-)

Bad boy! Don't you know that could derail a train? Although, we used to use pennies...

Inflation? Back in the day, we used pennies.

I've always wanted to do this! I like the texture on the rail.

Original...a breath of fresh air after 3000 radio flyers and vacant playgrounds!!

A quarter? Wow, you must have been rich. We only used a penny and got yelled at by Mom if she found out. LOL

I remember doing that! Oh that is so much fun! Maybe a little more detail on the quarter.

Ah yes, coins on the tracks! I like the contrast and color in the image. I think I'd like it better if I was a little closer and not looking straight down on it. Interesting texture and color on the track but a little hard to make out.

I like this, could be a bit sharper (quarter).
