Heads Up!

Comment by Teafran:
A clever idea and a technical success, it's less than successful in an artistic sense. DOF control is excellant and the lighting isn't over done creating blooms. The subject is less than interesting. Perhaps a different background with a slightly different angle would have helped. A little more thought and better framing would have brought the rating higher.

i don't get the title - probably just me though. Good selective focus to bring out your subject

ok...this is picky...it seems that your shot is not "level"...it makes me tilt my head, this may have been what you were trying to do...but I think your shot would have come off better if it were level showing the "rows" of pencils better...

Interesting shot. Wish there was just a tad more DOF to bring out a bit more detail on a few of the closer pencils to the one in focus.

The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problem such lighting artifact. The DOF could have been used more effectively, but has been controlled well - a touch more DOF to sharpen the right side would have been a plus. A good solid entry into the challenge.
