Nice picture, but I don't really see a pencil. OK, I see the remains of a pencil.

This is a neat interpretation of the challenge.. ;) I understand your intention completely witht this shot, but i fear that you have left yourself open for a lot of 'does not meet the challenge' comments :( I did the same thing last week with my 'Needful Things' photo. I left the voter an opportunity to see an abstract view of the challenge. I did not do well... :( I like your idea and I understand your meaning here :) good shot... = 8 - jmsetzler

Great shot....excellent focus and DOF. This is a really nice (and different!) take on the pencil challenge: simple, and (hopefully) just about everyone who was ever in elementrary school will know what it is. Don't you remember the way the pencil sharpener smelled when you took it off to empty it? Love that.... muckpond

I love the idea. Good use of black and white. Nice framing and focus. The grain in the photo adds a nice touch.

How about...."Wooden pencil goes to pieces after encounter with rotary giant." I think I'm getting punchy from all these pencil photos. I keep seeing headlines in each one I open up. This is a good B&W with good ROT's. =7 syamjonimi ;-D

Oh man! I thought I was the only one who had one of these "lying" around their house. I walked by it all week and didn't once think to use it! Great shot. I really like the composition. 9 shedonist
