Interesting perspective. Just not a very outgoing subject. I think a different color would have worked for the crayon standing up. The black looses a little definition.
The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems - the DOF could have been used more effectively. A good solid entry into the challenge.
Good concept it took me a little while to realize what that was in the center though.... you should have gotten the side of it a little or something so we could realize faster what it is. In a photo like this I feel like the other crayons should have been in focus also. I just looks flat to me. (hope this is taken as helpful not rude)
