this is very original! maybe the background could have been a different color because its kind of an eyesore for me, maybe a little saturation in the colors would brighten it.

Good composition - leads my eye up the "steps" to the point of the sharpened pencil... which is then slightly out of focus. I'd like to see that in focus as the subject seems to be the tips of the pencils. I like the dof, don't get me wrong. Everything in sharp focus would just be flat....just needs to have the attention shifted.

The top of the longest pencil seems slightly out of focus. The blue background would have been better if it were smoother without a grain. Nice idea.
