Muchas felicidades, espero que disfrutes el segundo lugar o el primer lugar de los perdedores, ajjajajajajaja ahora va en serio , esta muy buena la foto muy bien trabajada, muy meticulosamente trabajada, muy buena luz, tal vez y fuera primer lugar el el challenge de esta semana. La envidia me abunda, ajjajajaa.
I'll bet you were frustrated when the "Pencil" challenge came out !! This would have been just the ticket. Also an incredible shot for the "Something New" challenge as well. Congratulations on your 2nd place! Wonderful work !
Thanks to Each of You for taking time to comment. I wanted to try something different but was affraid I couldn't communicate it clear enough. I glad most of you liked it.
Thanks a lot!
On a sader note: No, I couldn't come up with something worth submiting for this challenge, too many pencils for one week : O , but like Arnold said: " I'll be back..."
OK, I'm not going to make the comment that everyone else has made. I love the strong diagonals of this shot. Leaving the shavings in front of the sharpener was a good choice; it provides a good contrast to the stark white and helps lead the eye in a circle back into the photograph. Excellent work.
Really nice composition. Reds are tough, the red lead seems...I dunno, wrong? Some sort of pixel effect, really I don't know. The shavings are a wonderful touch, along with the supporting cast of other colors. 9 Swash
What an interesting picture, although I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche or something. There are lots of other, more creative ways to express it. You should have saved this one for the current "pencil" challenge! A big of different angle might have allowed better focus on the pencils at the back, while keeping the one in front nice and clear. And it looks like you used the gradient tool for your background... is that allowed? If so it's something I had not thought of but might be of great use.
Excellent. Tiny fragment of red shaving at the tip of the pencil maybe should have been removed on a reshoot. Lighting is great. Color range is (obviously) very good. High marks. 9
I always laugh about the number of photos in the current challenge that would work beautifully in the next challenge. Coincidence? I don't think so. ;-) I'm sure you don't think it's quite so funny, because this pic would rock next week! Heck, it rocks *this* week as one of my "9's".
A prelude to some of the pencil phtos for this week. This has a really nice, eyecatching composition. Colors are not overly saturated, which is usually good. Nice to have the background gradually go from white to grey behind the pencils. The focus looks to be set on the sharpener/shavings and I'm wondering if you toyed with setting the focus on the red pencil's tip in the foreground and decided that the sharpener looked better in focus. Score: 7 Courtenay
I like the fact that you have the unsharpened pencils in the background. I also like that the sharpened pencil and the pencil shavings are clear and the unsharpened ones are just hanging out in the background. How many red pencils did you go through before you got this one so perfect? Nice job and good luck with the challenge.
Something new. Composition - very good. Shavings set this apart Technical Aspects - very good Meets Challenge - yes Top 5 Visual Impact / Originality – Jim msp
This is very nice, and appears to have been well thought out. It's not quite as 'cliche' as the other entries. The colors are fabulous, the perspective and lighting are perfect. Nice job.
Oh, boy, did you blow is on the challenge! I mean the Pencil Challenge is this week but you probably got some ideas while shooting this one. Really nice idea, and a nice image. Nice details, too. I would have liked to see the complete eraser because everything else is already going out of the picture.
