Hi, Lucas. Thanks for the comments. My original intent was to show the uselessness of the U.S. penny. I find them to be a nuisance, as quite a few others do as well. I usually end up with a pocketful of them, the kid behind the counter always gives me dirty looks when I'm counting them out, and my wife bugs me about leaving little piles of them around the house. However, there were a few unintended elements to the photo which you have pointed out. All of which can obviously impart certain opinions of uselessness.
As far as composition goes, I basically took the change out of my pocket, removed everything except the pennies, and then slapped them down a piece of paper. I took about ten or twelve photos from different angles and selected this one for the PUG. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
