Very nice composition. Tones seem a bit drab.

very smooth, makes the viewer feel relaxed as well. Maybe just a little sharper?

Hi Steve from the Critique Club,

My first impression of the picture - poor focus and simple concept we've all seen 100 times. Some commented a black background might have been better, I'm not so sure, because then the darker colors wouldn't have contrasted, so maybe a different background, but I'm not sure what color would've worked best. The actual positioning of the crayons wasn't so bad, you just needed focus. I would recommend never submitting a photo this poorly focused, you can always reshoot until you get focus, that's one of the advantages we have using digital.

Sorry I have so little good to say, but, I'm trying to help you out, not just to say nice things so I don't hurt your feelings. Just keep shooting and try to learn from mistakes.

Take Care,
Brian

Good shot but needs more contrast.

Good use of diagonals, expecially in this indirect way. Would have widened the dof.

Love the smooth lines in this. I think it needs to be sharper with more white black contrasts though.

The white background could be whiter.

I would crop a little different (maybe a bit higher). Image could be sharper. Good background and matches the title of the challenge.
