thanks a lot for your comments and questions/suggestions.
the first question most of you have is that it might look upside down.. hmm I think it does look better that way :> I am not sure why I changed the orientation. the flipped version is


Now I need to give a proof of this submission, but hmm I am in process of moving and no internet at home :(

Good composition...I like the little pointy ears
the lighting is nice and the use of soft focus works well for this fairy tales challenge.

hey Lita,
I like this picture, the angle that you chose and the texture and clarity. But this needs a little more DOF IMO, also give a little more space for the lines to merge a little ( the crop it too tight ). I don't know if F8 is the min. aperture your camera supports, but this might look better with a lesser aperture and if you showed the expanse more.
Also try to focus on nearly 1/3rd distance away from you keeping a low aperture, that might help increase your overall depth of field.
You can also try to convert this to b/w using channel mixer and get a more vibrant picture. the textures might get more prominent with a b/w conversion.
cheers,
KG

Its not very clear from the photo what you were trying to show and I need to read the title to understand anything about it ( and relate how it meets the challenge ).
The glare on the subject is distracting. IMO the presentation is neither attractive nor intriguing...
I know I have criticized you a lot but this is my most honest opinion...
At my screen it looks a lot brighter, you might like to play with curves a little and saturate the green a bit to add contrast.

Originally posted by RHoldenSr: Really a great idea! I like this shot. Did you think of trying this: Leave a small separation between the pencils and maybe place one just slightly ahead of the other? Leave a little more to the imagination in lieu of placing them right against one another? Nice work.

Thanks !!
I shall try these soon ( may be tonight or else tomorrow ) and then let you know how it came out.
