Hmmmm.... A photo without any subject? I don't know, I'd like something for the eye to hold on to.

Comment by HBunch:
You have a very nice background for this photo. Pretty blue. THe lighting and angle are great, however, I'm kind of curious, as the motion blurs for the eraser and the upper most pencil are going 2 different ways. I'm really don't know much about motion blurs, so you can ignore that if you want. The eraser stands out nicely being in the center of the photo. There is a slight glare on the vertical pencil, but it's not distracting from the photo. Honestly, it's not something I'd hang in my livingroom, however it is nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

the three pencils(pens) look like they could be falling but the center "dot" appears to be rising.

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Great idea! Love the action of this shot, just wish I could see it. I think I see four elements in this photo. Three seem to be mech. pencils, what is the fourth item? I think it has a white cap. IMO, too much blurrrr. Suggestion: use a more textured background and move the camera with the dropped items. That would blur the background for your sense of motion, while attempting to preserve your subject's viewability. But if blur is what you want, you got it! 7 Swash

The motion blur is good, but the image doesn't 'speak' to me. I can't really verbalize why this photo doesn't grab me... - jmsetzler
