This is a great idea. I like the shadowing as well. However, woth the end and erasers broken, teeth mark on the pencil itself may have been interesting too. They also would have added texture.

I like the reflection of the glass quite a bit. The pencil shavings create great texture and meat for the photo. I'm curious though: Why the cut off eraser? 8

i would've tried to brighten out the shadow of the ass tray, but maybe u wanted it that way, its a little distracting.

Great close up. I like how you can see the hairy leaves around the flower. The lighting is a bit shadowy towards the back and a bit bright towards the front left. This is probably the fault of the sun. I've seen where people put a thin cloth, or thin paper between the source of light and the subject and it helps to balence the light a little better. Gotta be careful if you try that though, that you don't get funny shadows from the cloth or paper. I like how it's opening up to a new day. Then it will be all ready to follow the sun around all day. Great shot and good luck with the challenge.

I like the lighting, composition, texture. Seems more like new because it is a new bud...

Excellent detail. yellow and green are possibly too close together. Try a white balance with less blue, or subdue the blue channel a little, maybe.
