Comment by Gracious:
Meets Challenge Theme:Yes
Technical :fair...lighting is good, but focus is very shallow.
Composition:good
Creativity:good idea!
Remarks:I think I'd like this more if the whole were in focus but I still like it. Good choice for black and white too.

composed nicely. good idea - a nice break from the pack. nice use of b&w. almost looks drawn with a pencil! 10

It took me a minute to figure this one out, but once I did I thought it was a clever idea!

Comment by FranziskaLang:
i'm not sure i understand what the item is ... the inside of a pencil sharpener maybe? it's pencil shavings inside, i assume). so, while you technically met the challenge, i would've preferred to see a whole pencil - but that's just my opinion. the focus is good on the photo, i like the framing, too, and the b&w works. i'm just overall confused by what i'm looking at, i guess. sorry, probably me being dense. -- gr8photos (3)

I was going to do something similar but I didnt have access to one of these, I was going to make it full and pouring out and call it "ground up and spitout.

Comment by mcrochip:
Does physically containing a pencil include the shavings from that pencil? Not sure of your idea here, so it can't rate too highly from me.
