Comment by Swashbuckler:
I was surprised at the number of garden pencils we got this week. I very much liked your idea of the weed. Did you have any hidden meaning in the erasures? Very funny. (just because other's thought of a similar idea, don't put up with any cliche comments...good job!) 8 Swash

I imagine these will grow into those fat pencils you use in elementary school? Creative.

funny idea, especially adding the 'weed'. good placement of it, too. i think i would've liked this better if the pencils were continuing in the background (a portrait format allows you to cover more space with the same amount of pencils if you don't have more) so that it doesn't just look like a bunch of pencils stuck in the soil, but like a close-up of a section of a field of pencils. -- gr8photos (3)

Interesting and I like the inclusion of the blue. Prefer not to have parts of some pencils cropped out.

The concept, I think, is like mine except that you used the erasers to show growth. I enjoy your take. I would have liked to see some sky, maybe using a lower angle would show growth greater.

This is an inventive idea; a crop of pencilsâ€Â¦ It's technically well done and it jumps out. Great DOF. Small gripe – I think that a slight change of angle and cropping so that it looked like a field of millions rather than a small vegetable (pencil) patch. Like a say, small gripeâ€Â¦ (9)
