 Going for simplicity here- a white colored pencil on a few sheets of white paper, lighting from a desk lamp. I recently bought some inexpensive lenses for my camera on ebay and this was my first experiment with the macro. Took several shots and I liked this one the best- had some fun detail in the wood of the pencil and I liked the way the diagonal edges of the sheets of paper contributed to the composition.

Nice composition with crossing diagonal line. IMO, a sharper focus on the pencil point may have made for a stronger presentation.

the lines on the background are a bit off putting but the idea and focus on the end of the pencil is very good

IMO this would be stronger if the tip was sharper(focus wise) as this is a controlled image this could be done.
nice shot though
