Comment by Journey:
That's pretty doggone cool. The title is good too and I see it depicted in the shape of the pencils. I love how the pencils fade into blurriness and are very sharp in the foreground. Wonder how you did this; would like to learn this technique. I'm impressed. 7 for now for my first round of voting but will definitely re-visit lateron this week. Congrats. Journey
Update: The stark simplicity of this image really makes a lot of impact on me. Technically and artistically a great image. 9 Journey
Final score: 10 Journey

I like the simplicity and position here of the pencils, but I must say I find the shadow under the paif of pencils a bit distracting. The end of the pencil looks fine, but the shadow looks a bit choppy.

I like this photo a lot. I would like it much more if the reflections of the pencils were not cropped / chopped at the bottom of the photo. If you cropped this differently, you'd get those back and get rid of some of the shadows at the top too. Just an opinion. Great photo!

Very minimalist. Works well. Love the composition and the setup. Not high impact, but still a terrific shot. lhall

The cropping of the reflection/shadow in the bottom right corner is somewhat distracting, but this is an otherwise nice photo. 6 -lennier

Gordon, I love this shot. The colors are beautiful, and the lighting is wonderful. I think the slant _makes_ the picture. Great job.

hmm....OK, I am guessing these are diamond earrings? Not very clear from the photo....And being on a slant does not help.

Good composition. Exposure is a little hot, generating some chromatic aberration
on the edges of the highlights. Very good overall.
