Since the challenge description stated that we had to "Use a colorful impact to offset the subject from the rest of the photograph", I thought it was a good occasion to try again this one ;-)
I'm pretty pleased with all the debris flying around, but would have loved a larger depth of field. Unfortunately, the MP-E65 doesn't go beyond f/16, so I did my best with this aperture, and only stopped when I was out of pencils! Again, my favorite shot turned out to be with an orange one, despite the fact I also consumed some green, red, yellow, and purple ones in the process. Probably my fate.

Obviously, I do know that this shot is almost the same as my previous attempt at breaking pencils. Still, DPC's version of the first shot was not sharp enough to my taste, so I really wanted to try it again. Not a very original concept, agreed, but still took me around 4 hours of tries, so I don't feel like I've been that lazy about it.

speaking of impact, it loses some when it's been done almost identically before....perhaps by you, who knows. a nice shot, don't get me wrong, just not as much wow factor
