This is a lovely photo :) I would like it even better if the background was slightly less distracting. The depth of field blurs the background nicely, but there are still some contrasts there that make the image seem a little busy overall... still scores well :) = 8 - jmsetzler

I like the shot, but it seems a tiny tiny bit blurry.

Nice close up. It might have been nice to see a little more of Jimmy, I almost missed him (your title helped there). Not too crazy about the crop job, esp. mickie's left wrist, his head and Jimmy's nether regions. 7 Swash

Perfect pencil. Right along the same lines as what I was thinking. I like the angle and the focus. Very nice. Not sure if you did the shiny reflection on purpose or not, but I mayb have tried to tone it down a bit. But that's just me. I know a lot of people like glare. I like the tan background with the brown-ish red lip pencil. Very nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

I think the double shadows underneath distract a bit, but I love the idea of why this pencil's point has been dulled. Lips are great!

Love the OTT glare on the lippie! Seem to be two shadows for the pencil, is that deliberate? Like the composition very much.

i like the focus and composition, but the blownout highlight is rather severe. also, there appear to be two shadows in the image... perhaps a single light source that was more diffuse would have helped. ~mcmurma

I like the shallow depth of focus and the composition overall
