Ok, I get it. Pretty thoughtful, pretty deep. Actually made me think (and it's pretty early in the morning for that!)

I like the mix of pencils and the setting, particularly the older more battered pencils. The cropping doesn't appeal - parts of the pencils, elephant and books are missing and there doesn't seem to be a conscious decision behind those choices.

It was Sunday night when I was trying to get the size correct and made the mistake of re-editing the photo several times. Basically, I ran out of patience and time to start the process over and over. I knew the quality was lost but have not the software and knowledge how to properly re-size. Thanks for your comments and concerns about the quality of the photo. I'll keep trying and looking for the right technique. Jerry Mattys.

I like this...I have a thing for rotting wood. Dunno why...but I photograph it a lot myself.. I also like the diagonal line of the old bench.

I like the subject but the photo just doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid. It's too grainy and not quite in focus I think.

this photo has a very strange pixellation pattern... I can see a checkerboard pattern in the image... I will look at this one again on a different monitor...

Perhaps resubmit this photo after reduction using a more appropriate piece of software. I suspect this was MUCH sharper before you reduced it.
