My first submission, done in a great hurry.
I'll say it myself... Poor lighting, may have been a reasonable idea had I got the pens lined up, and the white balance a bit better. THe green is washed out/blown out due to the photoshop manipulation to try to get the paper whiter.

All appreciated. I'm amazed I did as well as this and agree with all the poor white balance comments, and the pink comments. It was the most purple looking highlighter I could find.
Re the saturation. I didn't change it very much at all from real life. Those things really did glow that much..
This is an interesting idea, however I don’t find highlighters all that exciting. Clever picture though. I like the composition and technically the photo looks very well done. I just wish there were more going on here to hold my attention. I gave it a 5.
Could do with making the whites look less blue, however - different lighting, or alter your camera's white balance before you shoot? I had the same problem with my 'Color' challenge entry.
