I love the idea. That's a 7 just for that. Now the picture: I dunno if its the camera (hope its that so you can get of the hook easy) but it looks blurry. It need more contrast also.

Superb, brilliantly funny, exceptionally well shot. I can't fault this picture technically, and wouldn't if I could - the concept of inanimate objects having holiday fantasies is wickedly amusing and deserves 10 on it's own. The way you have put the idea into action is to be congratulated – first class shotâ€Â¦ Winner? May be? Good luckâ€Â¦ Easy 10++â€Â¦

I had to laugh. The pencils dreaming of a vacation just like people do! Is the white balance off or am I just hallucinating? Great shot though. cute idea

Comment by sulamk:
excellent idea! lighting and white balance could be better. If your camera has the option try other white balance settings. sulamk

Fresh Dough

I've been a bit busy, so I didn't see these new comments until now. I'm glad a lot of people liked this. I took a lot of photos as my boyfriend kneaded the dough (yeah, he's in every second one of my photos, I know :/). I tried lots of different angles, I got him to make fists, to pick up the dough and slap it down, etc. In the end this shot had the least amount of problems while still having some nice motion blur, which I intentionally wanted to capture. I don't like the edge of the bench either, but it was difficult to get nice photos from other angles, since there wasn't much space to set up the lights. I also wished there was more dough showing in this shot, but it's all about compromise.
