Neat idea - I like that I can see you in the photo but Im less happy about the big white thing to the left of you. Dunno what it and I realise it's REALLY hard to get rid of it. Your lighting is great, though and the DoF blurring the front of the pencil is great. Excellent concept and execution.

Good imagination. A little off on the technical side. Focus appears as problem not intentional.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
nice idea, nicely controlled white background, good placement of objects. the thing that keeps drawing my eye is the really out of focus tip of the pen. i know it's not supposed to be the focus of the shot, and that's why the DOF is that way, but my eye still wanders there. there are also too many details reflecting in the spoon other than you and the pen and the camera. i know i'm probably asking a lot, but do you have a plain wall in the house that you could've used as background (and, yes, i have a very hard time finding one in mine, too, but i think it would make a difference to the photo). -- gr8photos (3)

Comment by HBunch:
This is a pretty cool idea and your lighting is good. Did you want to be in the photo? I almost think that you are in the photo on purpose. Not sure why I think that. I think it's cause the title is simply "reflection" not "reflection of a pencil". For comparrision, I'd like to see it also at a different angle with a sollid color background in the spoon. Might look too much like an ad though. The focus is soft for my taste, but that's only an opinion and it doesn't take anything away from the photo. Good luck in the challenge

I like the DOF use, unusual to see foreground being the bit that isn't in focus, and like the way the whole pencil is in the reflection and points back at the photographer.

It may be just me, but I almost think that the pencil being blurry in the foreground is destracting. I think I would like this better with a clear pencil as well as the spoon / reflection. I really liked your idea though!
