Interesting. What jumps out at me is the color of the paper - wish it was whiter - just my opinion. 5

A Pencil Star

Great job. How'd you get them to stay - I tried crazy glue and it wouldn't stick! (only stuck to my arm lol) Nice job here - I like the composition. One small thing - I'm liking the white - seems a little on the grey/grainy side (but could be me). Still, great work!. 8

Excellent photo. Clean and simple. The contrast is just right. Excellently achieved white background. Great cropping - no, perfect cropping. I can't see one thing to 'complain' about. Professional looking. Great Work 10

Very nicely done. I had experimented (very little) this week with the slow shutter speeds - to no avail - but will keep trying. Great job! 9

Shadow and Light
by LanSnake

Comment:
Unique - different - not something I thought of! Perhaps I don't quite understand the point (no pun intended) - but, I very much like this. The use of light and shadow is excellent in such that is displays so many tones (ref to A Adams). It has a drastic value to it (extra exposure), yet is also a little subtle. Be interested to know if this was accomplished w/in the camera, or was a little tweaking necessary. Great work and effort 8

The End
by tomlewis1980

Comment:
Very nicely done. I especially like the choice of color for the pencil. (think the background is a little grey - but I think it's mostly my monitor) I see how the top half is brighter than the lower half - not sure it's intentional. Very clear image. I like how there is a light green reflection. Great effort. 9

My true Love

Comment:
Just because I can't get the reltation to the challenge, doesn't mean this is a great photo. I'm sure you're getting a lot of 'where's the pencil' - but I'll go beyond that and say this is good work. I like the soft lighting and the dof used.
Ruthann OK - due to the foum talk - yes now I see it (I still thought it was a great photo)

WOW - excellent photo and idea. at first I rated this a 9 now a 10 - took me a couple of looks to realize what this is. (Running out of steam for commenting - so being brief) Excellent overall execution. Not one thing I would change. Lots of time and effort as well as skill for this image - I love the color - great lighting - just really great work
