A wonderful image. Its minor drawback is soft focus as the eyes approach the steel grinders. Nevertheless, it remains a strong visual with lovely sepia. Bumping up.

Nice subject, nice lighting, nice tones. Unfortunately, the image seems to have been executed somewhat hastily -- the gap or shadow at the lower edge of the backdrop is distracting, and it seems rather under-sharpened for web viewing.

Nice sepia toning. A bit out of focus, USM might help. The streak in the background is distracting. 6.

Great subject, I almost forgot about those old sharpeners, since I now have an electric one. Nice idea!

Unfortunately it seems to be quite out of focus

Way better than my take on this :) Great use of dualtones and dof, lighting is great (high marks for use of a pencil sharpener -- and I thought I was being original!)

Could use more focus.

Nice and I like the way that the picture even looks old. Could have been have been a little more clearer though but other wise, good! Thumbs up!

I like the tone, it adds to the nostalgic feel. Some pencil cuttings would have been a nice touch.
