 Looking forward to the back to school sale... hehehe

People might prefer to see the whole box in focus but I thought it was boring. :P

Hoping for a score above 5.5 so I can stay in the BTA challenge.

Used $10 extension tube again :)

I didn't get a chance to vote the challenge but was drawn to this one when I glanced through. My sister, bless her heart, bought me a box of 64 - I think this was a couple of years after I graduated from college. :-) This is not only well done, it brings back very fond memories. Great light, great choice of DOF.

Great job! Very nice blur and deep colors (another interesting focal point).

I love that you wanted to break 5.5 on this and you got a 6.0. On to Round 2 of the Better-Than-Average tourney. Do you think those few low votes were from voters who thought this wasn't "cardboardy" enough? ;-)

You got one of the bigger boxes, it looks like. Lucky kid. Like the DOF.

I like this, yet I don't feel excited by it. If you catch my meaning. I almost wish that things were brighter, maybe a different color background.

Great photo. Great DOF, I really like how sharp the red crayon is compared to the others. Perhaps a little too much negative space on the left side but that's a minor issue.

A tad too much negative space IMO
