I love the shapes and the DOF and the way the identical pencils could almost be one moving pencil. Good colour, good lighting and the background colour is spot on.

They may be just pencils, but they are pencils presented in a very artistic manner. You did a great job with lighting, angle, spacing and I like how the pencils stand off of the background. The focus is neat being sharp in the front and fading to a soft focus in the back. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Good job. Lighting is excellent on this. The focus is OK, but increasing the DOF would hav made this a better photo. Meets the challenge. 7

The fan effect works well here. I'm not sure about the focus. It really doesn't detract from the photo in my opinion. What other comments have you gotten in this regard? Good choice for a background color. Ther seems to be a little bit of excessive glare on the pencil tops, was that your intent? =7 syamjonimi ;'-D

The fanning angle is great. I think I may have liked this with more depth, though.
