Third Shallow DOF that came into mind. The first two were a major failure. I wish i could have used more lights but i could only find one desk lamp, otherwise i would have made the backround whiter. Hope you like it!

great idea, but the background was too close. would have looked better with a white background, and maybe a little sidelighting to take the edge off the flash-induced shadows.
I actually could only find one lamp and the rest of the lighting was from a flashlight i was holding up, i has to hold a piece of papaer behind it all while pressing the trigger, it was fairly annoying. But htan you all for the comments, It will really help wiht the next challenge!

A good idea but a more thoughtful arrangement of the pencils would make a better composition. This seems rather haphazard. There is a distracting shadow behind the pencil on the far left of the frame.
Who would of thought that No. 2's would make for such a great photograph. My tiny and stupid nitpick is the one pencil being directly behind the front most pencil.
