canon 50mm f:1.8 - handheld - slightly cropped - custom white balance.

i scanned a tie dye t-shirt i made in high school, blurred it, printed it. cut out a shape from card stock, and spray glued the cut out to the print, stuck the pencil through the print, and into a piece of styrofoam...

edited with basic rules, except i used a seperate layer to edit, and merged it in normal mode 100% opacity. ( i think this should be allowed under the basic rules. )

slight crop, slight levels, slight curves, canvas resize for border, resize image, USM

Nice idea, good execution. Composition might be better, now attention gets too centered due the only sharp area and then eye is competed into to directions by straight line into corner and colorful area to top. I'd also like a bit more depth of field.

This is a great concept, and is compositionally awesome, however, IMO I think it would be much much better if all were in focus.

a very unusual photo for sure. I'm not entirely comfortable with it in this challenge, because the pencil itself seems almost incidental to the magic it is working, but what do I know?

Nice idea. I wonder how you got the pencil to stay standing up long enough to take the photo. Great composition to the photo.
