Nice idea, but the execution is not so good. The picture looks too flat, there are no outstanding elements. The harsh light emphasizes this impression. Your crop is good though. 4.
Iffy on the theme, but beautiful picture... I like the contrast b/w the dark wood and white paper with the medium-colored pencil stretching b/w the two.
But not, alas, to mine. I see your point (pardon the pun), and the photograph is certainly technically impressive, but it's really just a good picture of stationery ... not very stimulating. However, points for an original idea & points for a quality photograph. 5.
wow 1st shot with the s7000....nice man.....
my 1 gripe is that the point is out of focus but then the trade off is the papper in the backround is in focus......
i really can't make up my mind.....(btw) the boarder doesn't hurt it
all in all a magnisifant grayscale a wonderful image a great idea and 1 small tech. problem....
