This is one of the best shots this week. Great sharpness taking into account the distortion. I am curious as to how this was done?

I love the curves on the sides of the pencil (particularly the lower one) and the shifting colors in the text at the top.

Wow, kind of hard on the eyes, but I gather you got just the effect you were trying for... very interesting and innovative.

I see the pencil but don't understand the title. Are you trying to portray the pencil as one of those macro flower shots? The image doesn't grab me though, whatever your intent was. Overall there is too much blurryness for my taste. 5 Journey
Update: ignore my previous comment since this image has really been growing on me and like it more and more. Had already raised it to a 7 and now make it a 9 Journey
Over the week this image has really been growing to me. I love the pencil presented as a flower shot. Great dof. 10 Journey
