Of course he doesn't have kids ... look at his profile, read his comments; he is a kid.

[quote=TheLittleIsland] But you don't COLLECT colored pencils.... you

THIS IS NOT A COLLECTION, IT IS A SINGLE SET OF COLORED PENCILS THAT ALL COME FROM THE SAME BOX

He must not have kids.

Hello from the Critique Club!

I have studied your image and have the following to offer:

Composition/perspective ΓΆ€“ very interesting perspective in this image. The angle of the camera to the subject sets up a very nice illusion. You are drawn to where the pencils are pointing, but once focused there it appears as though everything is radiating outward. Excellent placement via rule of thirds the focal point. Alignment and placement appears nearly flawless which really adds strength to the scene. Nothing distracting at all. Focus is very good and the DoF used really makes it work near to far across the image. Not much to say other than very well done! A simplistic idea executed very nicely and translated to a very appealing image.

Color ΓΆ€“ across the spectrum here obviously, but each seems to have retained the original hue. Saturation is good as no color appears flat at all. Against the black background is the perfect choice and really allows each shade to stand on its own.

Lighting ΓΆ€“ very well done! Everything is well lit and defined while at the same time no distracting glares or reflections off the shiny surfaces.

Challenge requirements ΓΆ€“ very creative way to meet the challenge requirements.

Overall/my opinion ΓΆ€“ very well done image! Extremely hard to critique as I find it pleasing to look at; simple yet manages to grab you right away. Very well done!

Wow. I didn't get a chance to vote on any from this challenge, but this one surely would have pulled a 10. It's desktop wallpaper right now! Great job, very creative.

Rad photo. Somehow it reminds me of the movie Moulin Rouge. Perhaps it's the lighting, but i'm not sure. Anyhoo, if i'm ever able to take a picture like this before I die, i'll be happy in my death-bed. Excellent job
