Title sounds like a newspaper headline. Photo could be the visual. Is that a little spider I see on one of the pencils. ;-D

Nicole, age 6, chose this as her favorite photo this week. She says "It's my favorite because the penil is in her mouth."

I personally prefer something without the challenge topic in the title. How about "Get The Lead Out." It's a very unique idea. The photo does appear a little darker than it should be.

A Pencil with History

Good 'ol blue collar pencil has lived a hard life. Refreshing after looking at all the new shiny pencils this week. Your photo really tells a story. The background not being stark black adds to the feeling rather than distracting. The brightness of the flash on the green is a little distracting and I see a few errant white pixels in the dark background but, overall I like this very much. =8 syamjonimi ;'-D

More than meets the eye...

At first I thought this was a photograph of a an eye but, on closer examination I think it's a macro of a real eye. It's very good, you will have to clarify this for us when the voting is over. =8 syamjonimi ;'-D

New Morning...

Cropping off the sky at the top would improve the visual quality. Otherwise this is really good.

Good photo but, I can't quite put this with the challenge topic. New knife? Newly sliced pepper? New cut from a new knife slicing a new pepper? My mind keeps going in different directions on this one.

Well......You are the proud owner of the only "10" I see this week. Sad to say but that inclueds my entry also. I love the warm rich colors and the clarity and grain of the wood. =10 syamjonimi

I find I have to edit this comment....This photo is the first 10 for the week. I just voted one other picture into the 10 category.
