Love the textures here. I've been wanting to do some macro work similar to this. Love the way you processed it. I think this should've placed much better.

This is cool, really cool. I guess you used a broken pensil for the effect but the composition, such as the shadows, is excellent. Thumbs up!

As the others have said before, focus is the issue. I think a higher aperture would've helped out a bit. I would've gone for 2.2 with that lens when doing portraits, then slow down the shutter to about 1/80. I love portraits and when you focus on the nose, the eyes may be quite soft to work with in close with your software to touch things up.

Creative...wish those lines were a bit cleaner though and that yellow pencil you're holding didn't draw those lines, maybe just a plain old pencil (w/ yellow sides though) would look more convincing.
