Comment by Kathyc:
Composition, sharpness are good. It's simple and direct. The shadow is nice. Maybe it's just me, but there seems to be too much yellow. A different color in the background would probably make it more appealing to me and make the subjects "jump" out a little more. Not white---but something with less yellow.

Comment by crisa58:
I like the variety of colors, the subdued background, the hint of shadow. It's sharp without being over done. In short, striking and dynamic. well done. 9

Comment by LindaLee:
Nice composition and I like the effect of the DOF. Would have like to have seen the colors of the pencils "pop" out from the background a little more - perhaps a tiny bit more light on them. lhall

Very nice photo. Composition is simple, but effective. Color focus, exposuere, and etc. are great.

Comment by jimmsp:
Composition - quite good
Technical Aspects - quite good
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality ΓΆ€“ high
Other suggestions ΓΆ€“ did you try a whiter background? Probably would have set pencils off better.

Comment by HBunch:
Simple but very nice. The clarity is great on those tips. I like how it fades away with the green one in the back. Lighting is great and the colors are very nice. I was kind of wondering though, why you used 2 primary colors and 1 secondary color? yellow, red and blue would be the logical combination of colors, but maybe how you have it, it was a better visual combination. I wasn't saying it was a bad thing, just wondering if you did it that way on purpose or not. Great photo and good luck in the challenge.

Comment by muckpond:
I enjoy this shot but I think the background color is somewhat distracting. Don't get me wrong -- I'm a fan of backgrounds. But the color of this one is just too similar to the yellow pencil...I think it detracts from the focus of the shot. muckpond
