A neat take on the challenge, one of my favorites. I like the lighting and positioning in the frame. How was the pear?

Remie, great photo here. Congratulations. It went from being one of my favorites, to being my very favorite by the end of the challenge. Keep it up.

Thanks for the votes and the great and useful comments :)
The white pencil blending into the white backgroud was intentional and I have been thinking about doing the same with the red one. I came to the conclusion that it couldn't be done without destroying the balance of the photo. By using extra lights there would be either shadows on both sides of the pencils (giving the photo a fake unnatural look) or hardly any shadows at all (taking the depth out of the photo). But that's just my personal thoughts.
I did make an outtake with a black and a white pencil on which both pencils blend into the background, but it doesn't have the visual impact of this photo.
