5 mins before the deadline! Quick Critique is better than nothing!!
Content-Composition
Your composition is great, with the sharpener in one corner and the pencil leading from another corner down to the bottom left. Perhaps I would prefer not to have all the little bits around the pencil, I think that the main sharpenings are good enough.
Technical
Your use of DOF is very creative here, excellent focus on the tip of the pencil, rendering the rest quite soft.
Lighting looks great, atiny highlight at the back but the shallow DOF helps to conceal it.
My Opinion
Great shot, OK doesn't really move me, but with this simple composition, you have done a great job!

Effective DOF, bringing the focus right to the tip of the pencil. The composition is strong. I like the textures ofthe wood shavings, etc. Thematically, it's on theme, but it doesn't grab me.

Could use a broader focus to bring the shavings and all of the sharpener into the picture forground. Good colour and content.

Very nice sharpness and detaill on the pencil. Could have maybe used just a bit smaller apperature but I really like this shot.

I liked the idea, but I think it needs a deeper DOF. Good luck!
