No matter how many times I see this, it still makes me smile! So glad you clicked the shutter at just the right moment! :)

Laundry

I can't figure out what it is exactly that I love about this... but it's wonderful! So simple, yet I find so much to look at with the colors and shapes. I wish MY laundry looked that interesting! :) Very nicely done!

Fantastic! Great lighting to create the silhouette of the lamp and also to illuminate the face. Wonderful job!

Asleep for a Hundred Years

Great mystical feeling to this. You're a bit too clean shaven to pull off being asleep for 100 years though!

Let's leave bread crumbs to mark our trail back home.

Nice depiction of the scene from the story... clothing is very appropriate and I like the muted and natural colors. Something about the processing feels off.. perhaps bumping the dark tones to be a bit darker would help? I picture the scene in a dark scary forest, and this seems a bit bright perhaps.

Take Out #2

I thought this was the best of all the chopstick shots (by far!)...sad to see it in 25th place. I guess people just got tired of pencils as chopsticks? Very well set up, good colors. A bit more light, especially in that top corner may have been helpful, but as someone else mentioned, you don't want to blow out the details of the rice. Great job though, and congrats on the new PB! :)

Technically, this may not be the best photo of the bunch, but it gets extra points for creativity and patience in the setup! Very cute!

What a lovely garden

Great setup... love the theme of the office supplies to go with the pencils. A slightly different lighting setup would have helped to brighten this up, or even just trying auto-levels in post processing to fix up the white balance.

Love the mats which are also made from pencils, and the shavings in the bowls... great details!

The Pencilberry Bush

I like that you just used the end instead of the whole pencil... the round shape makes a perfect berry!
