Nice setup and good use of color :) There are a lot of contrasting colors in this photo, which is good in many cases... I wonder what this would look like if the background behind the pencils was an alternating pattern of two colors rather than this many different ones? Good shot :) - jmsetzler

very nice composition... i like the use of the pencil in this shot quite a bit :) I believe the shadows that are traversing her back diagonally look slightly awkward... I'm not sure if there was a way to eliminate that or not... :) - jmsetzler

This is an excellent image... I love the pencil sketch part of the photo. This is creatively impressive as well... My only critique would be the harsh lighting on the tip of the pencil... this may have been caused by the camera flash? Good shot :) - jmsetzler

I believe that the lighting is slightly harsh on this photo... maybe the camera flash? I also believe, in this case, that more depth of field would be an improvement :) I'm asking myself why you chose black and white also.... I believe that a color image in this case would make the pencil stand out more since it would contrast better against the keyboard in color :) - jmsetzler

This is a neat photo, but I don't know how it was achieved without spot editing. Assumint that it was not spot edited for the color, I think the lighting and soft focus here is very nice. - jmsetzler

This is a very creative use of pencils for this challenge :) The lighting is also right on target here... I thought that I didn't like the pencils being cropped at the top, but that seems quite irrelevant after I look at the image a little closer... good shot! - jmsetzler
