The Pencil That Was

I think this shot would have been served by more DOF, not neccasarily all in focus (Though for this site it helps if it all is) but a tiny bit more would have worked better for me. Also, I think without the tool in front it would have come off as mysterious. Each of these seperate factors could have pushed my score up by one each. --7 Agamemnon

Along with 'Old Time Spying' this shot expressed time/age through technique (rather than only subject) best in my eyes. It seems you were going for an aged look with the shot however I think this hurts the smooth edges (The AM FM for instance) making it look oversharpened some. You may want to look at that again with the full size image... I leave it to you --10 Agamemnon

Well, I have only been voting for two weeks, however this is my first 10 so you win the prize. The expression and something about the contrasting textures between the shirt and the flag just work for me. I am curious if you have a color version of this, however I feel that the B&W was a better choice. Great Shot. --Agamemnon

My scores always change the longer I look at things. I gave this a first impression 6 however the more I look at the more it seemed to work for me. It is definately something I would like to see in its original form. Now it is an 8

Very Cool.. I notice very small spots of skintone creeping in, however just being so much different than everyone else's it caught my eye and recieved an 8. If the skin tone had not shown some I wopuld have given it a 9. I would like to see a Tutorial on this if possible.
