Thinks for the nice comments and I´m glad that I got number 32. So I´m still climping up towards the first place. I´m doing a lot better this week. Again Thanks everybody for liking my work

Neat idea.

You glued the pencils together, right? Nice idea, angle and composition. Lighting and focus are a bit off for me, though.

Great creativity...the focus and composition are off to me though. I'm not sure how you'd make it right to my eye :P Lisa

very creative use of lighting to achieve this effect :) Good shot :) - jmsetzler

i like the simplicity

This one would have benefitted from manual white balance or some more careful postprocessing. I find the grainy background disturbing. I also wonder if shooting it from approximately the same angle and the light would have looked better... 6.

Ingenious!! (8).

neat pencil trick
08/21/2002 07:03:00 PM
I love the idea and composition of this, which is where it gets the score from. Technically I find it a little dark, could do with more light and more vibrancy of colour. Is the graininess deliberate affect? Wasn't sure.

some contrast or sharpening would have been nice. but it was a great idea/concept.
08/21/2002 05:48:00 AM
jolly! that is a nice star
08/20/2002 09:55:00 PM
cool affects...
08/20/2002 09:44:00 PM
nice composition..great contrast and shadows
08/20/2002 08:48:00 PM
I don't like to see the challenge name used in the title. Interesting use of light and shadows, I like it. I might have cropped a little differently.

This is a great example of a simple design shot that was very well executed! Your star didn't line up exactly the way I envision it, but this is still one of the most clever ideas in the challenge this week. Nice thinking!!!! 9 Swash

Nice shadow.
08/20/2002 02:59:00 PM
I love the simplicity of this picture, but it appears to be a little bit noisy due to the low light.
08/20/2002 09:21:00 AM
This is very inventive and clever use of pencils and light. Great shot (9)
08/19/2002 11:56:00 PM
shadow is intersting I would like to see more contrast in the pencils
08/19/2002 10:03:00 PM
Great idea!
08/19/2002 08:47:00 PM
beautiiful shadow
08/19/2002 08:27:00 PM
The shadow in this is great. The lighting is just perfect fot this. I like the angle. I wonder if it would look the same with bright colorful pencils? colorful pencils might draw attention away from the star. Very clever idea. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.
08/19/2002 06:18:00 PM
good use of shadows....simple, uncluttered background. Nice...Grayce...aka...Gracious
08/19/2002 02:13:00 PM
Looks like a signpost! LOL. I love it.
08/19/2002 10:25:00 AM
I love this simple, but very creative shot ! Your setup is wonderful, as is the composition. Great work ! lhall-9
08/19/2002 10:14:00 AM
I like it. Perhaps a little more DOF so that the star was sharper as the focal point...
08/19/2002 10:08:00 AM
add this to the "how'd they do that" segment!
08/19/2002 09:50:00 AM
Great job. How'd you get them to stay - I tried crazy glue and it wouldn't stick! (only stuck to my arm lol) Nice job here - I like the composition. One small thing - I'm liking the white - seems a little on the grey/grainy side (but could be me). Still, great work!. 8

If only the colour would JUMP! Maybe a tighter crop... ? Opinions... opinions! ;)
