I don't know if this will accomplish your mission, but personally I like it because its kind of similar to one of my really old entries : )

A little self-promotion never hurt, eh? Or is that self-motivation?

Very catchy presentation. :)

I like the frame. Some I suspect will comment negatively on it. Overall the lighting was a bit problematic in this shot. The light is a bit harsh, and there's quite a bit of fall-off, with resulting uneven illumination. Colors are vibrant in the foreground, but along with the light, fades away.

interesting idea. have seen another broken pencil so far, but not quite as many as i expected. broken pencil just seems thrown in there, and not necessarily the main focus/theme of the image. perhaps would've rotated the pencil to avoid displaying the USA (2) symbols.

Well, I'm a real hater of this kind of border, I fear. I just don't get the point of it., and it seems to serve only to distract from the actual photograph.

Well, it seems that the checkbox will remain unchecked after this challenge. Whenever you use a frame, it tends to polarize the audience - some love it and some hate it. I don't think that this particular image needed framing, but I kind of like the choice of the frame color. The topic corresponds to the challenge. I'd go with a 7 for this one.

I didn't like the title though that doesn't hurt the score with me. The subject seems more of the winning the ribbon than the broken pencil. I thought IMHO that it should have been more on the pencil, to me the book isn't needed. 5

A bit gimmicky, but cute.

Good idea, the lighting needs a little work op in the northwest, but nice idea, focus and composition.
