This is one of my favorite 3 for this week. I'm still wondering how you achieved it. I would have chosen a black background rather than the green carpet. Why did you crop out so much of the pencils in the bottom? The ghostly pencils on the wood block are very cool.
Neat idea. This looks like a shutter speed trick. But I'm not hugely educated on that, I'm guessing only by other photos I've seen similar. The concept behind this is great with the "chip off the ol block" theme. Very clever. I also like how you got the pencils lined up both on the block and the floor. The block seems unnaturally orange, which makes it look like the color has been messed with, but then again, maybe the block really is that color. Who am I to judge when I've never see that block before. Great job with this. Good luck in the challenge.
I love the texture in this. The detail (reflection?) at the bottom feels too low in the frame. I'd either like it higher or not at all. How did you do this effect? I am dying to know! 5, Kavey
Composition - very good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – high/very good Other comments – not sure how you did this, but good. Reflections at bottom bother me a little.
I think I like this but I'm wondering exactly HOW you got this effect without use of filters or special effects? Mirrors, maybe? I find it hard on the eyes, but makes me keep looking to try to figure it out.
Meets Challenge Theme:oh yeah! Technical :Good Composition:good Creativity:Good idea well executed Visual Appeal to me:Nice Remarks:Before I saw the title, it's exactly how it hit me. Grayce...aka...Gracious
I like the picture but don´t the bottom where the pencils meets I think a "crop" so you only can see the No2 in the OFFICEMATE pencil had done better at least in my case. -rocco22-
