Abstract and interesting patterns of light and shadows. It has rhythm. I think cropping some or all of the bottom would have helped.

If your title would not of told me what the subject was I would not have known. Even though titles are a key part of a photograph I feel the viewer should be able to relate to the photo without words. I wish you well in the challenge.

Greetings from the critique club!

As mentioned by previous commenters its a nice simple clean image. I don't see the spots that the one commenter spoke on however.

The idea works however I am wondering how it would look if the line was longer and perhaps coming more out of one of the corners.

The shadow of the pencil does work well with extending the line.

The orange of the pencil is a bit oversaturated and tends to take your eye away from the line.

The border is effective in this case as it serves to define the image space.

Focus is good and sharpness is okay. I am wondering if maybe f/8 would have helped add a bit more sharpness. Not sure about where the "sweet spot" for this lens would be but with the angle of the pencil a bit more DOF might have helped sharpen the upper part.

In terms of the challenge? Perhaps a bit cliche but the idea is also fairly well executed.

oversatured and needs some serious noise reduction.

Without the title here, one wouldn't really understand what they were looking at here in my opinion. The lighting, depth of field and overall tones look great. I just have no idea what it is without the the title.
