This image doesn't really speak to me. You could have spent a few more minutes setting up the shot. The pencils don't really line up, and there are few irregularities on the paper. When you have such complete control over the subject you are shooting, you should make sure that everything is as perfect as it can be.
I would also have liked it better if you could have achieved to have the shadows the same color, and if you got rid of the reflection in the shadow of the 3 o'clock pencil.
I do like the colors, although the paper could have been a more uniform color. I also like the depth of field you used. The focus on the pencil sharpener is good.
It meets the challenge very well, and the idea is quite original. I'm sure you would have scored a lot higher if you spent a bit more time in organizing the photo.
3 - Like to have seen the 'foreground' in focus and also perfect (or near) perspective symmetry. Looks like you have probably achieved what you were aiming for, however misses the mark for this Challenge in my opinion.
so much for the sharpener's reign of terror. It's good to see that the pencils aren't gonna be whittle down by the sharpener's cutting remarks any more. -7 (bottom left looks off for symetry versus other corners otherwise 8)
Great idea.
Very creative.
I would've liked the pencils to be a little more in focus..
Believe it or not, it took me a couple minutes to figure out they were pencils!
