Kids left the crayon box out on the table and it inspired me to attempt this shot again. Always find it hard to duplicate the original, as I like the first one better still.

Thought this might be yours Barry, I remember you doing well in a pic of the day competition with one similar that you took during the Macro side challenge sometime ago now. I think this definitely should have scored higher although I do not think it quite matches the original shot you did which was seriously good.

The Survivor theme is kind of silly, but I love the lighting and textures, and the jewel tones are beautiful.

I like this shot. My first impression wasn't great but staring at it I like it more and more. There's a tone to it that seems really pleasing. Just about like a sun setting and the last one standing is... well... still standing.

A very creative look at crayons - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. Should be a sure bet to win a ribbon or place high as a top twenty image. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.
