I love the center focus. I wonder if a dark background would be more striking but, I can see where the light foreground and background compliment each other. Initial impression =6. Close inspection = 8
GREAT idea and photo. Should'e had it alll the way down - haha - or Just the eraser - just kidding. I like the composition and especially the dof. I like how the colors blend together. One small thing - wish it was just a little brighter - but not necessary. Sitll liked this very much. Good work 8 Ruthann

Lovely and like the DOF. Would like pencil on a true horizontal or further off it. Great background - not too light or too dark, has some shading to it, yet totally not interfering with rest. 6, Kavey
This is funny. It's interesting how the pencil is sharp, and the foreground and background have a soft focus. Pretty neat. My camera doesn't allow for me to adjust my own focus, so when I see focus tricks, it never ceases to amaze me. Neat idea for the photo. Lots of creativity this week. the lighting is great and I like the angle. Don't think I'd hang it on my wall, but that's not your fault, I just don't have a "thing" for pencils. So setting that aside, overall good photo. Good luck in the challenge.
Beautiful depth of field on this shot, and a really outstanding idea. I think I'd like the colors just _slightly_ moved towards brighter/bolder. An all around great photograph. 8
