    My son and I just did this a couple of weeks ago with the new commuter train here in town. Like skipping stones on a lake, you gotta do it.:D

    this is fantastic! thumb.gif great job :):

    i love the contrast, the almost dichromatic effect of background and focal point (where the background shades are almost so close they become one shade/color in your mind causing the penny to JUMP out of the image).

    great sharpness.

    love it :):
