A very close up shot of a current drawing that I am working on. I thought it would be interesting to emphasize the texture in an area of the drawing by using a very shallow depth of field.

I think the fact that the picture is out of focus in the foreground emphasizes that this is a photograph of a drawing. If it were all in focus it would have looked like a photo of a pencil superimposed on a drawing. The slight blurriness gives it depth. Nice.
Wonderful photo. I love the contrast between the sharpness of the pencil and the garinyness of the sketch. I'll be surprised if this doesn;t come in the top few, hopfully a ribbon.
I like this. I would of liked better light on the pencil, it appears a bit harsh and causes a glare. Sounds picky I know but being honest with my thoughts. The drawing is so good. Talented. I think this whole shot is very good and loved looking at it. Thanks for submitting.
Greetings... I love an integration of traditional art and photography. The 'traditional' arts are something that I wish I could do. I have no skill with my own hands when it comes to drawing, painting, or sculpting. I suppose this type of photograph makes me realize that even more. I can 'see' it but I can't move the thought to another medium with my hands... great shot :) = 10
Incredible artwork. Love the close-up. You can almost feel the surface on which the artwork was being rendered. Beautiful surface texture. Would have liked a little bit more lighting on the pencil.
