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. |

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. |

Bet the RR loves you. I think that is called a roller press... Interesting vanishing point, and copper against the rail steel. |

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! |

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 |

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. |
