Technically, you have done well with your shallow dof. I like the blurred/focus/blurred way you have set it up. Also, the colors are awesome.

Compositionally, it feels a little \"open\" to me. I think a tighter crop would help to focus the attention on the crayons better. Also, I find myself leaning to the right trying to see the points more. Maybe a sharper angle of incident between you and teh tips, so that the frame is filled more.

Overall, this is a well executed shot and fits the challenge.

Good work, and best to you in future challenges. Hang in there and I look forward to seeing your future submissions.

I like your concept and setup. I wonder how this would be with the foreground stick in focus rather than the middle ones.

Pencils (crayons?), books, and money seem to be a DOF theme...
