beautiful image :) The soft lighting and overall softness of this image is working well in this 'portrait'. The angle of the lighting does a nice job of highlighting the muscule structure... great shot! = 10 - jmsetzler

beautiful concept :) This is a really nice idea for this challenge. I love the color (or lack thereof) and the contrast in this image. I think a neat enhancement to this image would have been to tint the water a very light shade of green or blue with some food coloring... I'm not really sure, but i think that could have been a nice minor modification that would have created an even higher sense of 'wow' in this photo :) Great shot... = 9 - jmsetzler

I see the pencil :) The overall impact of this photo doesn't really grab me. It meets the challenge because the pencil is in the photo. I believe that a more creative use of the pencil would work better :) - jmsetzler

I still need my pencil.

This is an interesting shot... It just emphasizes how modern technology can't replace certain things :) - jmsetzler

This is a neat interpretation of the challenge.. ;) I understand your intention completely witht this shot, but i fear that you have left yourself open for a lot of 'does not meet the challenge' comments :( I did the same thing last week with my 'Needful Things' photo. I left the voter an opportunity to see an abstract view of the challenge. I did not do well... :( I like your idea and I understand your meaning here :) good shot... = 8 - jmsetzler
