Good idea, composition and lighting setup are great. Lighting on the spool is a bit intense. I'd have prefered a bit of a simpler title. Choice of background could have been better. Overall, good shot.

Pen and Pencils

OK, for the theme, though to me, pen and pencil seem a bit more contrasting than going together (you use a pen OR pencil), but that's a bit nit-picky. :) The setup is really interesting - how you got the bundle balanced on the one pencil. DOF is a bit too narrow I think, since the tip of the pen is out of focus (again stressing the contrast, not the togetherness, though I assume unintentionally). Lighting and use of colors are good. I think this would really stand out in a "one of these things doesn't belong here" type competition. Still, a good entry.

Well, it took you nearly two years, but you've finally managed to show some improvement since starting at DPC. ;) Awesome shot, it's going straight into my favorites.

Why leave the drops on the glass? They seem to me to clutter up the "simple" composition. The lighting and colors are nice; the focus is interesting.

A little dark, but my only real complaint is the compostion - moving everything to the right would have let the center be focused on the forks, which seem to me to be the point of interest. Other than that, well captured, great idea - I like it.

Don't be so blunt in your title. You made a simple picture more complicated. Let the viewer make the connection. Nice simplicity shot though.
