Sure thing. The flash was obviously on the upper left (1/32th), pointing at the pencil. The room was dark. I had a standard white piece of paper on the table. The macro lens was parallel to the table: in fact there is no specific background, the transition from white to black is simply due to the absence of ambient light in the room.

This is a fantastic shot. I love the impression of depth that's created by the flying shards of pencil - some in focus, and some in front of and behind the plane of focus.
And the composition and bold colour is great too.
