Due to arthritis, I have found it is faster for me to write things, instead of typing them. This portrait has my wrist supports, my pencil, and my keyboard.

b&w works well here, so does DOF, but i am totally missing what the thing on the right is and how it fits into the photo. a piece of clothing? sorry, must be having one of my blond days. -- gr8photos (4)
From my perspective: Meets challenge:Yes Technical:a little blurry Appeal/Artistic:Doesn't appeal to me really Composition:I think this would look better without the rags. I just don't understand why they are included here...Of course it may just be over my head. Originality:ok Comments:Good luck in the challenge.
I believe that the lighting is slightly harsh on this photo... maybe the camera flash? I also believe, in this case, that more depth of field would be an improvement :) I'm asking myself why you chose black and white also.... I believe that a color image in this case would make the pencil stand out more since it would contrast better against the keyboard in color :) - jmsetzler
Great contrast of the pencil and the keyboard. I wasn't sure what the object to the right was, but my mom and I agreed that it was the wrist thing used when people get carpal tunnel. Then it all makes sense. Your lighting is good and the angle is good. at the bottom, it looks parallel to the bottom of the photo, but at the top, it looks like it's tilted a bit to the left. Most likely nothing can be done about that at this angle, but I wouldn't change the angle. I like it how it is. Good photo and good luck in the challenge.
I like the use of BW here, and the deapth of field works for me too... However, whatever that is on the right hand side of the shot, it killed the shot for me...I think this would have been a VERY strong shot without the whatever it is... But it dominates my attention everytime I revisit this shot... I'd love to see a reshoot without it :)
This is a bit too grey-on-grey for my taste-- shouldn't the keys be white? And I'm not quite sure what that item there is on the right-- a cloth of some sorts? --4-- sohr
I understandthe juxtaposition of the keyboard and the pencil but don't understand the towel, if that's what is is. I cannot find this image particularly original as I have seen lots of keyboard images by now. Nice job on the duotoning. 5 Journey
