Although nothing special, this picture's technical quality is good. The subject is sharp, the background doesn't seem distracting to me and the color looks good.
I like the well executed simplicity here, but the big black bars of the frame are distracting. I miss the barrel reflections on the yellow pencil, what happened there?
A very creative look at colored pencils - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.
