It took a while to think of what to do for the challenge. Then I came up with the idea cause someone had said something about the fringe and I though "Fridge Notes"

Well, this was my first entry. Haha, It didn't do that well. Only one way to go is up. As for how I got the pencil to stick, I took a paperclip and poked it through the end of the pencil and then through the paper and taped it on the other side so it would hang there.
I can't figure out how the pencil was done - interesting. (I'm being straight forward - NOT to offend) Personally, this is not very appealing. For me, the cropping is too big, there's so much going on here that the pencil is lost. I'm curious as to why the top of the fridge is in the shot. Perhaps I'm missing something. Ruthann
Is that a roll of toilet paper at the top? lol. This is adorable. Definately has the aww factor in the pictures. The lighting is great. no distracting shadows or bright spots. You did a great job of keeping reflection and glare off the pictures and white board. I think I would have liked to see this fill the whole frame and be taken from straight above rather than at a slight angle. otherwise, great photo. Good luck in the challenge.
I like the idea here - it is a comfortable photo to me because of the familiy pictures, magnets and magnetic poetry/words. The part that bothers me is the composition of the shot. I would have prefered if the upper part of the picture(above the fridge) was not in the shot. Another little thing that bugged me was that the pencil covered the head of the girl in the photo on the left. If the picture was composed better I would have rated it higher - for now I give it a 5.
This is a neat image because it looks like the pencil is suspended in mid air... Subjectively, the image is a little 'busy' and keeps my eyes wondering around looking for something :) - jmsetzler
Would be better with a different angle, and a tighter crop to remove items(tp?) on top of the fridge and the picture at the bottom which is cut off. Picture is too busy the way it is. Lighting could also be improved.
it's cool how you stuck the pencil on the fidge, but I might have cleaned off the top of the fridge and arranged the stuff on it a little bit more. Also try a second light, even a flashlight, from the side and you might be surprised by the change it makes.
The pencil feels like an add-on just to get it into the photograph. I am not keen on the composition, I'd be interested in knowing how you made your decisions about what to include (the toilet/ kitchen roll on top) and what to exclude (the rest of the photo at the bottom). On a visual level this photo just doesn't attract me, but I do applaud everyone for entering, and hope I am not too discouraging. Feel free to PM me for discussion of my comment if you want to. Kavey
This is a good idea, but I don't really see a clear subject that stands out from the rest... perhaps it would work better if you cropped some of the foreground to focus more on the list....
