Whats this doing all the way down here! I thought that it was really cool, very abstract but excellent colours, composition and it's original! You never can tell what is going to work with the voters!

This is really interesting, great shapes and lovely background colours and patterns, just feel that it would be better rotated 180 degrees.

I love the abstract nature of this, wonderful lighting and DOF, something ver mystical about this shot.

Rhythm Red, Beat Black

Comment:
Excellent rhythm and lighting. Think I would have prefered a different colour background, the colour and lighting of this one is a bit uneven. Great shot!

Fantastic colour saturation, I wonder if using portrait style would have suited this more.

Excellent composition and patterns, perhaps a little less sharpening....but I like it this way too!

Content-Composition
Your composition is great, with the sharpener in one corner and the pencil leading from another corner down to the bottom left. Perhaps I would prefer not to have all the little bits around the pencil, I think that the main sharpenings are good enough.
Technical
Your use of DOF is very creative here, excellent focus on the tip of the pencil, rendering the rest quite soft.
Lighting looks great, atiny highlight at the back but the shallow DOF helps to conceal it.
My Opinion
Great shot, OK doesn't really move me, but with this simple composition, you have done a great job!
