Comment by Swashbuckler:
Nice photo! I have always enjoyed seeing art and photo together like this. For a minute, I couldn't find the pencil, silly me. I still don't understand the title. ( No reflection on your score.) Great focus/lighting/framing/composition! 8 Swash

Beautiful. Took me a minute or two to find the pencil though. Hope that doesn't hurt you. You would think the shadow would make it obvious. Great work. karmat

I see the pencil but, it's just a little too contrived for me. Great subject for photography. Would fit a different challenge better in my opinion. syamjonimi

Comment by HBunch:
Really really cool. I hope you let on as to how you did this when voting's over. I think I may know how the other "floating pencils" were done, but this one puzzles me. It is very visually appealing. Lighting and angle are good. don't think there is much more I can say about this. Nothing really distracting. I think the shadow from the pencil kind of makes my eyes go off the page, but I don't think it would be the same without the shadow. I think it's important. Great photo and good luck with the challenge.

I really like the idea on this photo. Perhaps having all of the colored pencils used would have given a little more color to the photo. The contrast of the green bush and blue sky is nice.

Comment by CPattee:
someone has a lot of artistic talent. I would have preffered the pencil be more prominant for the challenge but the photo is wonderful. 7

Love the old boat and the picture, but feel the pencil has just been stuck in there. If it weren't for the challenge, the photo would be better without the pencil I think. Nice colour to the sky.
