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

The motion blur is good, but the image doesn't 'speak' to me. I can't really verbalize why this photo doesn't grab me... - jmsetzler

great capture of detail... This photo alos works well in black and white, even though the pencil loses some of it's contrast. My mind wants to see an eye or something else from the face in this one... but I still love the shot... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler

This is a nice macro view, but I don't care for the lighting tint here... If your camera has white balance capabilities, you may want to investiage them. The white balance would allow this shot to 'glow' very nicely in the indoor lighting :) - jmsetzler

I love the lighting and color in this photo... I especially like the way the pencil plays a 'subtle' role in the image... This is creative :) Good shot! = 9 - jmsetzler

I like the lighting and the tone and 'mood' provided by this photo... the 'pencil' presence is slightly weak though... Since the pencils exist in the shadows, I had to look for them and then determine if they were pencils or not :) This is good work :) - 7 - jmsetzler
