Good concept. I like that the color of the greyed out pencils is "graphite".

The yellow #2 definately stands out in this photo. The others look like those environmentally friendly pencils that are made out of recycled materials. I wonder if you did the angle on purpose that way. I'd like to see a comparrison of this photo to a photo of them head on with no diaganal tilt. There is kind of a curved look to the pencils to the bottom of the photo. I think it's only a trick on the eyes though due to the angle cause when a ruler is placed up to it, it sure enough is straight. Very nice display of pencils. Good luck in the challenge.
