great idea, with some humor included as well. two suggestions: one, the two shadows is semi-distracting (just for normal situation/reality purposes) - it does happen, but in this case it just reminds me that it's a setup shot with (i'm guessing) two lights shining on the pencil. two, get a newer and smoother textured pencil (and maybe sharpen it as well) - texture is sometimes interesting, but a smooth texture would appeal more to me here. still, a good shot and worthy of a solid score.

Mighta worked better with some important writing on the paper or a test of some sort.
