composition Nice Job. I suggest moving the subject further from the middle of the photo, and possibly using it to cover up the white blob in the background (slightly to the right in the top center) because it is kind of distracting. Also try to fill the frame or use a darker background to eliminate the white in the upper left corner.
color Nice job with this...all of the crayons in sight ar very bright colors which helps bring your point across.
contrast The contrast here would have been wonderful if the tip of the black crayon was not in the midst of the shadows. Again try using the tip to cover up the white blob in the background.
focus Well done.
depth of field This is my favorite aspect of the shot.
lighting Try lighting this from a lower angle and see what happens, although I do like the reflection of the lighting on the crayons.
any other element of the photo that stands out or is lacking in some way Overall I think that this was one of the best shots in the challenge. Please take these comments into consideration, re-shoot this idea, and let us see the results. ~Rob
Not sure I ever heard that one (to my face at least), but it's a pretty good and literal interpretation. I would have lgked to see the black crayon somehow more contrasted against the background. The dark shadows in the box obscure part of the tip outline.
