A Sharp Point

nice shot :) I like the concept of the single yellow pencil in the scene. That offers a nice bit of contrast and 'punch' in this photo. I wonder if the pencil on the left should have been turned so that the text doesn't show? Since it is not showing on any of the other pencils, I ask myself why you chose to show it on this one :) - good shot.. jmsetzler

this is excellent :) It's definitely one of the more creative concepts I have seen this week. It falls outside the ideas that I thought of for sure :) The color in the green napkin is very nice... the 'pencil' sandwich looks like the pencils are supposed to be there :) great work :) - jmsetzler

This photo scores very high with me on the creativity scale. The lighting and the reflection on the wood surface really make this photo stand out nicely :) The composition is also very impressive... you have me wondering how you still the pencil up like this... great shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler

excellent idea :) I am not able to draw the association with the title though... I would love to hear your idea behind that :) When I saw this, I was thinking that 1944 would be a good title. This reminds me of the barricades that were on the French beaches during the allied invasion of France during world war 2 :) - jmsetzler

I love the composition and impression of this photo and I would love to score it higher, but the challenge was for a pencil... sorry :( - jmsetzler

good use of depth of field here... everything is in focus :) the 'creative' use of the pencil in this photo seems a little bit weak to me though... - jmsetzler
