I think a plain background would have worked better.

this brings back memories! my dad had one like this!
light is a bit too intense in some places, and makes it flat in others. did you just flash?.. or maybe your light source was too close...
anyway. nice idea.

Fantastic photo! Should place in the top 3 in my opinion. Crisp, clean focus. Love the blurred background. Congratulations for a job well done.

Oooh, this might have been good for despair! Clear photo with good colors and an original take on the challenge theme.

5 mins before the deadline! Quick Critique is better than nothing!!
Content-Composition
Your composition is great, with the sharpener in one corner and the pencil leading from another corner down to the bottom left. Perhaps I would prefer not to have all the little bits around the pencil, I think that the main sharpenings are good enough.
Technical
Your use of DOF is very creative here, excellent focus on the tip of the pencil, rendering the rest quite soft.
Lighting looks great, atiny highlight at the back but the shallow DOF helps to conceal it.
My Opinion
Great shot, OK doesn't really move me, but with this simple composition, you have done a great job!
