Cool effect. I like the idea. Placement and angle are good. Lighting and focus are great. The only thing that stands out to me as odd is the blemish in the eraser at the bottom right of the photo. unless the rest of the eraser is like that or worse, maybe rotating the pencil to a different spot of the eraser could have avoided showing this. The background is absolutely great. Very nice job and good luck in the challenge.

I am amazed at how creative people can be with something as simple as a pencil.
Your idea here works well.

I liked your composition very much. Your pencils are the most elegant, and least used by other photographers this week. I only wonder about the crack in the right side pencil's eraser. One of my 3 favorites to win this week.

good light/color rendition. how did u suspend the pencils? might be a tad over sharpened, but it's a clever idea.

I lost the idea somewhere with this. Kind of plain. sharp but no real subject I can see to make it interesting

I think this would have been superb with one of the pencils removed. But that’s only my opinionâ€Â¦ Good luckâ€Â¦(7)
