| This is a really good photo, and focus appears to be good, and the angle and frame placement are good, but there is really too much bright spot to say much else about it. looks like quite a bit of post editing here and makes it hard to tell anything about lighting. it seems like half the photo is missing. this is just my personal preference. I like good lighting and color. good luck in the challenge. |

| great idea but I don't like the way the hand turned out. maybe a different finger position to let the light hit them differently. |

Wow! Very creative. I love the style of this photo. Good composition and lighting. The overexposure is great. I also like that it's a bit fuzzy. Only thing I don't like is that I can't really see what's going on with the hand. I know she holds the pencil but I can't really make out where the fingers go. It's a bunch of "something". But it's still a great photo and I really like it.

| Very nice...dramatic. My only complaint is that the pencil tip is washed out a little too much. Great job! Lisa |

| This is a great image. Very artistic. Love the strong contrast. Particularly love the "lines" that aren't visible anymore, such as at the top finger. A great example of "less is more". 10 Journey |

| Good use of effects for this image. I think that even more, the composition really makes this image. Very good job! |

| There is at least one other with a similar idea, but I like this one better because of the abstract treatment. If I had any criticism it would be that it's just a little to blown out |

| Interesting effect. This is one of those pictures that you either really like or really dislike. I liked it. Focus looks good. Lighting is "special". Subject matter is good. |

| Excellent idea for the challenge. I like the overblown effect - creates teh look of being drawn, wich I am sure is what your were going for. You definitely succeded with this image! Congrats! 10 md |

An interesting effect, but I honestly don't like it as a photo contest entry. The subjects are difficult to view and it looks more like a Photoshop manipulation.

| I like the extreme contrast in this photo, but I dont like much else about it. The subject itself to me is rather lacking. 5 -lennier |

Beautiful! Great framing and terrific use of black and white. The only thing I find distracting is that you can't see any of her nose. (I realize it was probably intentional, but it looks a little weird to me.)

SUCH EXCELLENT WORK!!! I think this is great. I wouldn't change anything - but might wonder what one little bit of color would do (of course, not allowed if PS in)
Great work! 10

| I love this photo. I couldn't quite work out what was happening at first, but I see it's an eyeliner pencil. Very nice high contrast work. It suits the subject well, emphasising the dark outlines around her eyes. 10 from me! - lisae |

| Love the high contrast and the composition. I am surprised that, as a woman, this interpretation of "Pencil" never occurred to me ! Nice work. lhall |

I love the high contrast of this - it's very very striking. The only thing I am finding is that because it is so high, I can't figure the hand and fingers out and so this bit of the image isn't clicking for me. But the face and pencil are just incredible.

| very cool post processing on this. The lower right is a bit unclear/ cluttered though |

| Something disturbs me about this picture, but I get it. I would have like to see some color in it, and I think the picture could do fine without the mouth (makes the lack of nose in this picture far too obvious) |

I love shots like this, and this is such a great take on the challenge.
Can you post or email me the original so that I can see what your lighting was like? I'd appreciate it. Muckpond. |

| Nice but the center of interest should be the point of the pencil where it meets the eye and because of the contrast it is lost, When the challange is over and you can cheat, fix up that point and you'll have a nice image/ |

| This is a very neat concept and I really like the image. I also believe that post processing can be used to significantly enhance a photograph. My personal problem (not yours) is that I try to draw a line between what is digital art and photography. This photo crosses that line for me. The post processing on this image gives me the impression of a pencil or charcoal sketch rather than a photograph. This image has great artistic merit and really do like it. I'm giving it a 9 rather than a 10 because of this twisted view I have of what is photography and what isn't :) Great work! = 9 - jmsetzler |

| It's clear that you desaturated as a choice; it leaves the image almost like a charcoal sketch instead of a photo. I didn't think I liked it at first and rated it a 4. But something in it strikes me and 4 seems unwarranted. 6 |

| Would love to know how you did this....I've been playing with my camera for months trying to accomplish this....Can you share with me how you did it? Thanks. |

| This is beautiful. I'm interested to know how you did it - overexposure? I'm sure that quite a few folks will take off points for not using a writing pencil, but I think it's a great entry. |
