| I'll start out first by saying I LOVE that wood grain. very pretty. the idea behind this photo is funny. (for everyone that doesn't have a kid on ridilin, that is). I also like the use of a different looking pencil. cute bunny. lighting and frame placement is great, as is the angle. there is a dark spot in the upper left that is a bit odd, but I was thinking it may be in the wood, however, if it's not, I'd like to see it without the dark spot. good luck in the challenge. |

| This is a clear photo with good color. However, I am sensitive to the subject matter of this photo (particularly the title). Maybe it's because I am a teacher and I have seen children struggle with attention disorders. I hope it was not a joke. I have voted on it with the assumption that it was serious. |

| normally i don't like a wood grain background, but i think it works well here simply because it could be a desk or table top in a classroom. love the pencil. karmat |

I like the idea behind this very much. (Being honest - not to offend) I think this could've been done a little more effectiveley (also just for the record, and not sure if it was intentional, but it's Ritalin) Being someone with ADD, I can respect the intent and can imagine something more for this - the shot is too set up...or organized, yes that's the word...the word people with ADD do NOT know. I think I would have added some more misc things in disarray - things that didn't have anything to do with anything...or some tears in the paper...or put the pencil through one of the paper holes. As for the photo, I would crop it more, I don't think that so much of the desk space is necessary. I may have also come at it from a different angle, a little lower perhaps. Sorry to go on and on, just that this one hits home, so a creative idea. I was just thinking...for someone with ADD, they see the wold go faster than most, would be cool if there was a slight blur in the image...but you know it would not go over well here lol. One more quick thing, the lighting does not do much for this - it's not setting a mood - but not sure what to suggest.....but I just had another idea - peal some of the pencil, as if done with a finger nail...yes that would enhance the idea of needing ritalin - that would put more emphasis on the pencil and not relying so much on the what is on the paper.
Alright, sorry to go on and on. If you give this another shot, I'd be interested in seeing it. Still great effort.

| Too common a misconception. Need to be stimulated, interested, and challenged. But then, that would make too long a tiitle, huh? |

| The pencil's presence in this picture is questionable at the moment. I like the two erasers, but I'm rating on the use/necessesity of the pencil to make the point in the picture. Also, the upper corner seems underexposed/dark. Good idea overall, though. |

I personally am not overly keen on photos where the interest is mostly in the text written or printed on the paper/ sign/ wall.
I like the customised pencil - it reminds me of the kind of things we did as kids to pencils and stuff at school. I find the veneer background a little heavy.
The focus and lighting seem good.

| You misspelled Rital--- what was I saying? Anyway, good idea, buy I would have liked to see the two broken pieces not so arranged. |
