The focus on that pine cone is really great. You did a very nice job staggering color of the pencils. Lighting is very good. no distracting shadows or bright spots. the only thing that might be kind of distracting is there is a small black dot in the upper left corner. Otherwise, very creative. Good luck in the challenge.
Cute idea. I'm being straight forward - NOT to offend. There are a few things I would adjust. I'm not sure that having the light source entering from the top right is effective here. I'm not sure if the background is actually grey, or was supposed to be black - either way, I would have chosen something different. Also, perhaps a different placement and angle - in effort to make the form stand out - to me, this is more of just a 'picture' not a photograph. Perhaps having the lightsource a little brighter as well as positioned differently, I would say on the side or in the front - show off the pine cone. I am in no way an expert, just expressing my thoughts. 4 Ruthann
What a great idea! They grey background makes everything look duller... a white one may have helped the pencils to pop out a bit more. Great shot anyway!
