As Time Goes By

I like the mix of pencils and the setting, particularly the older more battered pencils. The cropping doesn't appeal - parts of the pencils, elephant and books are missing and there doesn't seem to be a conscious decision behind those choices.

Nice, clean shot, with limited colour, black, red and white is a classic combo. I think I'd like to see the whole cup, with the white background curving seamlessly from behind to below it.

Brings back many memories and I like the ghostly blue - adds colour but only sort of...!

Nice strong contrast, love the apple skin dots. I find this very striking in composition.

The End

Love the colours, and detail. Find I am being drawn out of the frame at the left. I think it would work better to have a crop at both sides or to have both sides contained within the frame.

Love the texture of the floor and the opened out tip where the lead has fallen out. What's the white triangle at the left?

Pencil At Play

Comment:
Interesting idea, want either more or none of the picture being copied. Also a little more hand and little less shadow beneath it. Like that I can see the texture of the paper and pencil upon it.

Cute! I love the reflection in the polished floor. I think this also benefits from the non centred composition. I don't like the "stage curtain" texture (but please don't think I am insulting your house interiors!).

Like the textures and colours very much, though think the yellow would sing out more with a little more light on it. Would prefer if pencils were more accurately vertical.

I don't know what it is about this one which I like so much, especially where other shots of pencils stuck into the ground don't appeal. Perhaps it's the reflections, the light of the water as it slips over the rock they are on, and the wonderful line and colour of the water and waves. Only thing is that the horizon really should be vertical, but I imagine rotation is not allowed. Outside of the challenge, I bet you've already corrected it! One other thing, I'd prefer the pencils at the right weren't cropped. Either included or not, but whole. Really nice shot.
