Comment by Journey:
The model's expression seems rather tentative, sorta: "is this what you (the photographer) want me to do and look?". The lighting isn't pleasing to me. Too much darks in the right side of the face and no subtle gradation from subject to background. 6 Journey

Comment by just-married:
I like about this photo that the pencil has a place in it with a sense of belonging. It wasn't forced to make the challenge work. That would be more true if the pencil were sharpened. It's too bad her eye goes just out of focus a bit. But not toomuch to cause problems. Clearly you wanted focus on her mouth. You might tell your model, by the way, that she has great teeth. 7 - may or may not become an 8 as the week passes.

Comment by MrsKro:
I think it was a good idea Tom...I don't get all the "disgusting" and "nasty" comments. His feet are wrinkled..."before his time" means old before his time...it's just a play on words/subject matter. I don't get folks...lol. I think it a different view of the challenge and you did a fine job. I can't believe that people actually leave comments like this....is this helpful? constructive? oh well...to each his own, huh? good luck in the future.

:O)
