I don't understand the title, and I looked it up on the internet and couldn't find anything except that v.00 stood for Volume 00. Oh well, this isn't a title contest, so who cares if I don't get it. Also, there is an Administrator's Note that there is not border and it's legitimate. I have no idea what that means either, so again, who cares. Neither has to do with the photo it's self anyway. Which, by the way, I like very much. I like the angle and how you have the contrast with the tip and the erasers. The lighting is great and placement is very nice as well. Only complaint I might have is the strange shadow under the erasers. looks strange for some reason. Overall great photo. Good luck in the challenge.
Why can't I add photos to my favourites list when voting? I just LOVE this picture. I adore the two circles and the angled line next to them. I love the colours. I just LOVE the massive white space above them. I love the DOF and the colour and the lighting and the background. I really really really like this:) I really really wish I could say "I took that" about this one. Joint favourite this week and one of my site favourites too. 10, Kavey
great image. strong composition with strong impact. i fear you might get slammed for this though. not everyone appreciates this style. i'm sure you will get many simple critiques on what you did wrong. stylistically i love this. i really like the blown out background. i hope you do well in the challenge. if not, hang in there. you have achieved a pretty unique style which is a rarity on this site. 9
wow, we do have a lot of admin notes this week. i just totally love your photo. the composition is awesome, although i can see why some people think it's a border, i'm sure you will enlighten us on monday as to how you achieved the effect. very nice selective DOF, and placement of the pencils, but i probably would've chosen a 640x427 format to just slightly reduce the negative space w/out loosing the concept. also, your paper is ever so slightly wavy under the diagonal pencil. but i'm just nitpicking here. my top 5 this week. -- gr8photos (10)
Very simple, clean and well done. Great composition and angle. I like it very much. The choice of exposure suits this photo well. Great work. 10 Ruthann
this is a really neat concept but it looks like it was cut and pasted into a new white frame in software... this is illegal... I score the shot an 8 just incase it is legal though... good idea :) - jmsetzler
That's pretty doggone cool. The title is good too and I see it depicted in the shape of the pencils. I love how the pencils fade into blurriness and are very sharp in the foreground. Wonder how you did this; would like to learn this technique. I'm impressed. 7 for now for my first round of voting but will definitely re-visit lateron this week. Congrats. Journey Update: The stark simplicity of this image really makes a lot of impact on me. Technically and artistically a great image. 9 Journey Final score: 10 Journey
I like the simplicity and position here of the pencils, but I must say I find the shadow under the paif of pencils a bit distracting. The end of the pencil looks fine, but the shadow looks a bit choppy.
I like this photo a lot. I would like it much more if the reflections of the pencils were not cropped / chopped at the bottom of the photo. If you cropped this differently, you'd get those back and get rid of some of the shadows at the top too. Just an opinion. Great photo!
