I don't really care for the shadow on the right but an excellent picture otherwise. 8

I enjoy how the white pencil bleeds into the white background. I wish that could have happened with the red pencil and red background. Sorry, I can't help you with how to do this - I am new at this.

Comment by Kavey:
This is just beautiful. Such striking colours and composition.
If _looking_ for a criticism I'd say only this - the white pencil bleeds seamlessly into the white background - the red pencil doesn't bleed into the red background because of the shadows. But then, it wouldn't work without any shadows, as they give the pencils form and dimension, and the shadows would look bloody weird if they were on opposite sides for each pencil. So I don't know that it would be something you would want to change anyway.
This is in my top three photos this week, very very striking.

Wow, nice job! I love how the white pencil fades to the white background. I wonder if having an additional light from the right side could have given the same effect to the red pencil and eliminated the shadow from the white pencil.
