This is phenomenal. i really love the concept here and I think several people, like yourself, had similar ideas. Kudos to you and everyone who did, because I'm enjoying these immensely. Only minor 'goof' for me in this photo is the paper edge under your hand. it's not really a 'distraction' but I think the image would be improved without it. This is print-worthy material :) Great shot... = 10 - jmsetzler

That's a lot of chickens :) I'm lost in trying to find the 'meaning' in this photo. I think this idea is over my head :) - jmsetzler

Reflection
by Bukios

Comment:
This is an interesting concept for sure :) This is also a tough shot to do... Keeping yourself out of the reflection would have been practically impossible here... curved reflective surfaces make that tough... I'm not sure if your camera has depth of field control, but I would like this photo better if the tip of the pencil in the foreground was in focus as well... good shot :) - jmsetzler

Modernization
by Maverick

Comment:
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

Writing Instrument (6 letters)

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
