If 1's was your objective with this snapshot you have succeded. I only wish I could have given it a zero. I doubt you just stumbled upon this contest,saw the challenge topic and took this sophomoric picture of a poor representation of a horse cock. As you well know, the origional topic was a number 2 pencil, later changed to be any grade of pencil because of the difference in the global numbering system for lead pencils. Your using some slang interpretation is idiotic. Do you spend a lot of time at Allbangedup.com? This snapshot should have been DQ'd by management for being off topic. This if far too liberal. Have you always had trouble understanding and following instructions? Do you see you are the only entry that fails to understand the topic?
If my comment hacks you off, I am sorry----sorry I didn't post it Monday so you could have been hacked all week.
Try a little harder to stay with the topic next time and not pick some goofey off the wall meaning of "children". Maybe something your mother would be proud of you for entering.You might work on your focus too. If you ever really NEED to photograph this part of a horse, try laying underneath. (face up)

Comment by HBunch:
At first, my opinion was that this did not meet the challenge, as you know many people wondered about that. However, it was brought to my attention that the definition of pencil would allow this to qualify. So, setting that aside, on to the photo. The angle and lighting are good. The red and white bar is kind of blocking the um...subject. However, there is a humor factor in there with the sign in the background of the subject. I have to imagine the looks you were getting while trying to take this photo. It took balls to get this photo. (no pun intended). Not something I would hang in my livingroom, however the photo is well executed. Good luck in the challenge.

Comment by Gracious:
From posts I've read, I know what and where the pencil is, so I guess you sure meet the challenge. Artistically it doesn't appeal a whole lot to me because of the drab colors with little contrast other than the little bit of red. I do like the cobblestones. Between that and the horse it has a bit of an old fashioned feel. Technical merit...well, as I mentioned not enough contrast to make the subject pop...no pun intended...and the focus is a little soft.

Comment by jimmsp:
Composition - fair, sign seems out of place
Technical Aspects - good
Meets Challenge - technically yes, but .. ?
Visual Impact / Originality ΓΆ€“ high/high
Other suggestions ΓΆ€“ if penis was your focal point, then lighting could have been much better. Striped bar also hurts.
