This image just simply appeals to me. I love yellow, and the amount of content and "busy-ness" is just right in my opinion. The composition is well done, and the red accent perfectly placed. There is almost a soft yellow "glow" throughout the image that I think really works.
Nice touch throwing in the red paper clip and the darker yellow pencil. I turned the brightness of my monitor down to 25% and the pen top is still a little too bright. I would suggest shooting at a number of exposure settings and using levels adjustments to reduce glare, especially for bright yellow. Even the surface of the lined pad is wiped out by glare in the foreground center. A 7.
I like this. Very nice. Great use of the red paperclip as a foil. The only flaw is the washed out lines in the paper from the flash or light source. Great idea and excellent composition. You have the eye of an artist. How refreshing.
