But you don't COLLECT colored pencils.... you just buy a set of them. Maybe if it were several different types of colored pencils, that would make sense... but no, this is just ONE SET of colored pencils.

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

VOTERS NEED TO THINK CRITICALLY FOR CHRISSAKE

So not only did you prove me completely wrong, you did it with a well-deserved blue and a 7+ score. ROFL! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go torture some kittens or something. ;-)

Shannon, I was just lucky. I don't have your creativity and imagination. Mine is just a copy from a box cover. But yours are always original. And you have the record of not leaving the dpchallenge's homepage for how many weeks now? Anyway...I think we inspire each other.

LOL....for those who commented about a woman standing somewhere, you're right. I took a lot of shots along with this shot and this is one of them.



Anyway...Sally helped me set up this shot.During lunchbreak in school, I requested a friend to sharpen the pencils, I laid them down on the floor (with a black velvet cloth as a base), then asked Warren (and later on Sally) to arrange them in the same manner as shown in the box of the Prismacolors pencil. Not an original idea. But I really went down on the floor to take the shot. Unlike the box picture which was taken from the top, I experimented on the DOF and the angle. An dthe rest is history.

Many thanks for the votes.

Manny
