Very in focus, sharp and direct! The crop could be tighter though. Nice shot.

| This shot looks like it needs some better lighting. In my opinion, it is essential that this background comes out as a crisp white, so taht the colors contrast effectively with the white. Using a solid white background and a more powerful light would increase the impact of the colors in this shot by a lot. Some post-processing to brighten and increase contrast could help as well, but the adjustments would be more effective if they were made in the process of shooting. |

| a familiar idea, and you've managed to capture a lot of detail of the pencils, but the picture could use a greater exposure to really brighten up the colours! |

| I think you could expose it a little more. Maybe some levels adjustments in photoshop would enhance this picture greatly. |

I think this picture meets the challenge well but it could use a little more work. I think all you really need is some post processing to really make this one pop. I would start with adjusting the color and brightness so that the background isn̢۪t so drab. The whole picture appears to be a bit underexposed and the colors aren̢۪t as bright as they could be. I would suggest upping the contrast about 5 or 10% and upping the saturation 5% or so. You can also play around with setting a white point from the background. Finally I would add a bit of USM to sharpen it up a little more and I think you will have a very good picture here.
As it is now I gave it a 4.

| A good idea but the lighting lets this down - it is very flat and the white(?) background has been underexposed so much to come out grey. This would be a good use of the exposure compensation features of your camera if it has any. |

| A little under exposed I think, and try using Levels to correct the colors. |

| Subject needed more light. (Check your monitor calibration maybe?) |

| A little too dark. Saturation could have been increased a little. |

| Should be a little brighter. May have looked better with a different color (darker) background. |

| This could probably have done with being brightened a little. |

| There is no white balance in this shot. Why? |

| why are the colors so dull and dark? great focus, but the lighting and saturation really are below the potential this photo had . . . |
