Famished

I love this shot. Excellent close composition and expression. She doesn't physically look famished, but more of a model, though it does bring the emotion and point across.

Love the angle here. Very nice dof -- it really makes the pencil stand out. Very well done.

I like the choice in subject and the detail you were able to capture.

But to be honest, I think you missed the mark. The problem is the white/featureless background which is doing you no favors, IMO. Using it is like putting your subject under a microscope. It makes your subject look too clinical/analytical in appearance. Not only that but it robs the viewer of seeing this subject in it's proper context.

This is not to dismiss your opinion since as the author you can more easily connect with it but for the rest of us we need to see more, more context in which to identify and understand your vision.

This is a better approach then all the other chopstick shots in this challenge it is set apart by the DOF, the angle of the shot and the contrast. Nice work with this one.
