Modernization

I see the pencil... I'm not sure I understand the 'message' though... I understand the 'modernization' theme with the bulldozer making way for new things, but I'm lost on how the pencil fits in here... Maybe I'm just trying to figure out something that isn't there :) - jmsetzler

This is a good composition, but I believe the lighting may need a little assistance. It looks like you may have used the flash in this photo because of the hars shadows and the brightly lit foreground. The photo could also probably use a little extra sharpness as well. :) - jmsetzler

nice use of lighting and a creative concept as well :) I like the way you have used the angle of the shadows to offset the vertical pencil... good work :) - jmsetzler

I love the reflections in this shot... I wonder if this would have been a more powerful shot from a slightly higher or tilted angle? good work! = 8 - jmsetzler

I like the way you have used the flat grey to make the yellow pencil stand out in this photo. I also like the diagonals. this works very well :) Now, I see some evidence of 'barrell distortion" in this photo. This is the curvature that you can see at the top and bottom of this image. The only way to correct that in an image like this is to back up a little bit with the camera... shoot the photo and then crop out the part that you want to keep :) - jmsetzler
