I like this. I think I would like it better rotated a bit to the left so that the pencils are more diamond oriented and the cube is horizontal to the top and bottom of the shot.
I love the colours against the black background. Excellent composition. I really like how you have arranged the pencils with the lines of them going in the one direction. Also the cube breaks up the lines which you have used (pencils). The lighting is excellent but imo the dark spot on the lower left kind of drags my eye down there. However an excellent, creative shot. This certainly meets this weeks challenge. GL :) 9
Composition: Good
Technical: Good lighting/colour. Maybe a border?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Good pic, but slightly lacking interest for me personally. 6
I like ho you have the square cube set up aginst the dark part of the background. I think that by elminating more of the black backround you would have hadmuch more intrest into your picture. Nice Job
