Comment by olbol:
There's a very similar entry and it's slightly ahead in terms of composition - I don't like the horizontal banding of the image into three...

Very shallow DOF, subject isn't too interesting.

Comment by tonyv:
I think this could be a great picture. It needs some real profound words and, for me, a portrait orientation.

Comment by _eug:
There is such a thing as too little Depth of Field. This is one such case.

Pencils, books, and money seem to be a DOF theme...

Comment by macrothing:
6 - Good. Criticism; looks like it needs a slight nudge rotation up on the left, but apologies if wrong, may just be the perspective. A little sharper, while difficult, would also have made this even better in my opinion. Like the 'composition', but perhaps even more height (top/depth) may have also have given this something extra.

Is this photoshopped? If not, then 7. If so then shame on you. (Either way a pm on how you did it would be appreciated as i'd like to try it myself.)
