Please tell me that you didn't do this out of experience! Just from all those cop shows on T.V., right? Extremely well done, one of the best resolution pictures in this challenge. And, it is done with a healthy dose of humor, which makes it a well-rounded favorite for me. Top 3, I bet!
Oooh the USUAL SUSPECTS! This makes me smile, even on the Nth viewing! Would like more light/ better colour on the pencils, ahem, I mean suspects. 7, Kavey
(The balding criminal?) Great title and shot. At first, I had a hard time with the two pencil reflections, then I followed the light backwards. I thought I had it, but no the logic fails..I'll just have to ask. Which pencils are reflecting against the background. Both look like silver tops, but there is no place where two silver tops appear in next to each other. Where DID the reflections come from. (At first I didn't like them, but the questions kept me intrigued.) Nice work, great photo, good "take" on the challenge. Score bumped to 9. Swash
Great use of humor. Great title. The most original idea of this challenge. I like the reflection of the two left most pencils but, personally I would like to see reflection from all the pencils. The lighting seems ok but the entires photo could be a little brighter. I would definitely hang this in my office if I were an officer. It would make a great gift if you have a family member or friend who is a peace officer..... =7 syamjonimi
Who would have thought there could be humor in a pencil shot. Yet I have seen a few of them in this challenge. The title gives the humor, but the picture is great.
Composition - very good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – high/very good Other comments – Maybe could be a little brighter
I love it when a picture evokes some emotional response from me... and my favorite is humour. Where do some of these ideas come from! Thanks for making me smile. AND it's a well balanced and well done photo!
I really like this one. it made me laugh, too many people take this DPC way to serious. I enjoy seeing photos that make a good try at humor. You shot gets an (10) NormW
Love the idea. shame about the reflections, don't know wheather you meant for them to show up, I can see why you would, but I think it distracts from the main picture.
Cute and creative - made me chuckle. IMO (not to offend) it's a little too grey and dismal (although I'm sure a line-up is that way) I can't tell if the 2 soft images are reflections or from a slower shutterspeed - not understanding why they're there. I think I would have made it brighter, with the light source coming from angle from the bottom (as if being interrogated) and the white very white. This is just my opinion. Nice work and effort. 5 Ruthann
LMAO. This is absolutely hilarious. And it's visually appealing also. You did an excelent job with this. Lighting is great. There are no distracting shaddows, or bright spots. If any of us has seen a line up on TV, it's always made through the glass. Therefore, I LOVE the reflections of the pencils. Wonderfully framed and high humor impact. I could hang this on my wall. I even like how the "culprit" has different hair. Excelent shot, 1 of 6 10's this week. Good luck with the challenge.
First off, this made me laugh… It's not easy to get humour from a pencil. You have also executed the shot with technical aplomb. It's clear from the forensic evidence of the 'slightly worn rubber' that #2 did it, and, when kicked, sorry, cautioned, admitted to the heinous deed :) I think this shot, for inventiveness and wit alone gets high marks. Easy 10… Good luck…
Very original. I like it! Wish there would have also been a reflection of the other 3 pencils. Technically a good, clean shot. Will revisit later. Journey
