I like the 3D layout of the pencils, wonder how you did it. I Think thought that the idea could have been used better. The backgrould is not very nice to my taste and after viewing the picture several time I miss colors or 'tone' of colors .... looking at it again the background bothers me a lot. 5

This is effective. The use of the neutral colors is nice. The perspective is interesting.

Comment by LindaLee:
I like the shot, but I think I, (personal opinion only), would have preferred to see a highly contrasting background. I would like to see the pencils just "jump" off the photo at me. On the other hand, perhaps this sort of monochromatic look is just what you where after, and if so, then the blonde/black works well together. lhall

I thought I had figured out how you did this, but no, I can't, so how did you do this? The only photographic issue I have is that the background is a bit too close in color value to the pencil bodies. Otherwise, this is a nice, interesting shot.

I think besides the coloring (which is interesting), I really like that I can't tell which way is up in this picture. It is almost disconcerting. I like it. karmat

Is this and UP shot or a DOWN shot, I really can't tell.....I also tried to get some floating pencils this week but gave up after 6 hours or so. Well done except for the out of focus background in the lower right corner and the flash on a few of the pencils....Just a personal opinion....not a criticism. This is very eye appealing...=7 syamjonimi ;'-D
