I have always admired my brother's artistic ability and he has been such a supporter of my interest in photography. So when this challenge came up I knew that it would be a good opportunity to pay homage to him! I used Adobe Photoshop to resize and desaturate.

This is an excellent image... I love the pencil sketch part of the photo. This is creatively impressive as well... My only critique would be the harsh lighting on the tip of the pencil... this may have been caused by the camera flash? Good shot :) - jmsetzler
There are quite a few photos of drawings this week. I have to wonder though, how many people are judging the drawing rather than the photo. This photo is very nice with the focus and the sharp tip of the pencil more obvious and clear than the drawing. This photo seems like a photo of a pencil, rather than a photo of a drawing that just happens to have a pencil in it. Great lighting and the angle is also very nice. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
Lovely sharp light on the pencil and definition in the finger whorls. Something about the composition doesn't quite work for me, it's something about the white space at the top left but I can't put my finger on it (no pun intended). 5, Kavey
