 One of my old finance exams. I shot this in sepia mode to give it an "old-time" feel. I also turned contrast to high in an effort to make the text seem more vivid.

Where did this guy learn to hold a pencil? Isn't this a built-in excel function? Not exactly a tough test. Oh, wait, I am supposed to rate the photo. Photo isn't bad.

nice idea, however the holding of the peb does not look natural to me. It looks like you have held the camera in your right hand to shoot this image.

Try using a tripod or rest the cammera on something (Some books and a beenie). You can then concentrate on your left hand then.

This is nice. The page makes a nice backgournd pattern and allows the fingers and pencil to become its own shape. The color is a bit on the pink side--I'd like to see something actually white in the photo. One other thing....it took me awhile to understand what bothers me most about this photo....you're not left handed, right? The grip on the pencil in not just "posed" (as one would expect) it's actually forced.

Other than that bit of glare on the pencil, the lighting and contrast in this shot are just outstanding. Really nice job.
