I really like this shot! I didn't have time to do any commenting during this challenge, but I have to say that I think this was a great shot.

I'm just chuckling here at some of the comments about your exposure and composition. *grin* My bet is that you were also on the ride in order to have captured this shot, right? Yeah, I can bet that being whirled around at the same time as your subject, doesn't exactly lend itself well, to trying to get a shot composed, right lighting, right composition etc.....especially with MINIMAL EDITING!!!! I think it's terrific that you even caught it in great focus!

AND.....since this was a "photojournalism" challenge, this fits very well! What action shot in the front of newspapers does one see that are perfectly composed and exposed????!! Peeps are still thinking STOCK SHOTS!!! *smile* I wonder how many in here would actually make it as a photojourlist??? "Wait, hold still, gotta compose this shot! Don't bring that axe down yet.....haven't gotten the exposure right yet. Where's my light meter?" *wink, grin*

Nice work! I think it should have scored MUCH higer......but, then again.....it's not a fire, is it?! *wink*

Ahhhh.....I was another of the "chopstick gang" with my entry and got similar comments about how many of them there were in the challenge. I'm wondering what happens when there are 150 shots of bees on flowers in Macro shots???/ *grin* Or, how about the number of "drink/martini" shots we see? There's gotta be at least one of those in every challenge! *grin* Personally, I like your shot! I think it is great! Good job!

To me, this still shows a pencil as a pencil and I'm not sure but, I think the challenge called for a non-pencil usage in the shot. Nice shot though!

CUTE! I might have cropped out the hand and just gotten the pencil, but really creative. I like it!
