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.

I've heard of doing this but I've never done it myself, I like the darkness of this picture.

Nice simple shot. I like the perspective as well.

Yeah... we used to flatten copper coins that way too. Fun. Nice shot.

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.

Well composed and framed.

LOve the shallow DOF ... great leading line
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:54:30 PM
Bet the RR loves you. I think that is called a roller press... Interesting vanishing point, and copper against the rail steel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:28:53 PM
imo it would be better if the background had a bit more detail
03/15/2009 09:09:33 PM
Very nice DOF.

Nice focus and light on the penny, good DOF and perspective. Brings back memories of when I was a kid.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very like the tones everywhere in this pic, especially in the BG areas.

I actually don't like that border for this image. I think it's the white pinstripe that throws it off. Ditch that and it'd get a 10.

I just had to come back.
You know what, screw that border. Here's your 10!

Nice perspective!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:21:48 PM
a little lacking interest wise
03/14/2009 11:16:42 AM
Cool prespective. The lighting is prefect. Nice work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:40:10 AM
Brilliant. Would love to see this in black and white to add to the already effective abstract nature of this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:44:52 AM
wonderful DOF...crisp focus, excellent colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:15:14 AM
different way to photograph a railroad track and this works, very crisp and clean, good luck

I've always wanted to try this. Good composition.

The lighting really makes this shot. Wonderful pov, great lines and dynamics. The copper penny is a real standout.

Great perspective and DoF. Nice color of the coin in combination with the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good detail and nice lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:18:36 PM
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

well composed image, great dof and great light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:55:46 AM
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.

I'm not sure thats a great idea ;-)

there is a mood to this shot despite its simplicity. nice texture and lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:42:55 AM
I really like the contrast, DOF and lighting of this. You've also capture the texture of the train track very well. Nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:57:44 AM
good fous and DOF. the border rather hurts the image IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:14:40 AM
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.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:28:06 PM
Good perspective
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:29:36 PM
Should've used a quarter! Just kidding. This made me smile. Nice use of DOF and vanishing point. Good luck in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:24:07 PM
Lord. I got arrested for doing that when I was 15! BOL
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:47:41 PM
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!

going to try to squeeze a little more out of it?

Looks like a highway, lines and a circle.
