A bit like the "ages of man" picture. Good concept. Not quite sure about the slightly dirty background behind the half used pencil.

I realise it would probably be hard to keep clean, but the dust/ graphite on the white background is distracting. Nice idea but not very visually exciting/ stimulating

In my opinion this is a very good idea. BUT the execution kills it. Why is the background so dirty? also ithe angle is kida weird and why didn't you have the last part a bit more aesthetic. I think it could've gone from good to great.

I understand the reference to new in this challenge. It's not very visually appealing though with the dead grass, the rusting sign and lack of color. the blur in the bottom makes it look like it was taken out the car window. The angle, lighting and idea are all great with this photo though, so my opinion doesn't really account for much, more like just an observation. Good luck with the challenge.

I think this would have worked a littel better as a verticle image. Not sure though... 7 md

The cross being in there adds to it for sure...gives it spiritual dimension.
