Now, this is a cute idea! I like the composition, lettering, and cropping.

yep, most original idea up to now! hope you don't mind 'original' - some people dislike this comment. 7

Good idea I just wish you could have filled the frame with the paper cropping the dark corners.

Composition - quite good
Technical Aspects - very good
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality – quite good/ high
Other suggestions – I don't like the wood/table showing. Minor problem.

This is a great idea! very creative. You probably got lots of framing comments, so I will pass there. Did you want to vary the lighting from light to dark, left to right? If so, skip the next sentence. Suggestion: two lights from either side, nice balance. Nice play on words on your title. 8 Swash

Great idea, and I'd like it even more if the backround was completely white, no brown edges.

clever idea. I would prefer a little more lighting coming from the right hand side so that it was even all the way across. 8

Interesting idea - perhaps more of the table below or none at all (I think my pref would be none at all). Lighting a little uneven, seems darker at right.

good pun, okay picture. It just isn't too visually exciting but it raised a smile ;)
08/19/2002 06:01:00 PM
cute.

Clever and contrasty. complimentary lighting and background edges.

Cute idea! The cropping is a little off, though. The dark table behind the white paper is a little distracting. You might want to play around with that a bit. Good luck in the contest! KrazyKat

I really wanted to give this a 10. There is humor, creativity, lighting is perfect. However, I wish the frame was better. I don't like seeing the edges of the paper. I could see this as a poster hanging in a office. I know shots from above are really hard to get, especially if you don't have a tripod. Just keep trying at it and take LOTS of pictures of the exact same thing. Great shot and good luck in the challenge. 9

Generally this is a pretty good idea! The only think I have to complain about is the pencil seems small compared to the size of the entire image. However it is depicted as the main subject of the image so I may just be complaining for nothing!

Creative, I like it!
