After I had this ready I thought it was a little sparse, so I rebuilt the set, but with a handwritten poem in the background. Wasn't happy, so I changed the setup, but wasn't able to reproduce the lighting due to the shorter distance of the background. Took another try a day later and finally sat there with 7 processed images from 4 shoots - about 15 hours of work overall. Decided to stay with the first one (this).

Post challenge: obviously wrong decision, LOL.

nice concept.
The plain background and center of page compoisition are not very interesting, made even more mundane by the square conposition, which will usualy reduce the energy of an image.
It's well lit and the texture on the pencil is very nice.
