Just an idea that I had that amused me. As I mentioned in the forum I didn't get as much time as I would have liked to shoot it since I spent much of the weekend diagnosing a hard drive failure, but here it is.

what a funny shot! I love it cuz its just too cute haha. I love the little touches u added like that pocket protector or the tape on the glasses. What an awesome shot!!!
Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciate it! I really didn't care about the score on this one as much as I did about making people laugh. If this brightened your day it was worth the time I spent on it.
Shows a lot of thought and creativity. I love the detail in the clothing and the glasses..even the little pocket protector...this is a riot. Excellent idea!!! 9
Wasn't there a song from Weird Al Yankovic (sp?) about pencil necked geek? Funny :-) The photo is not very interesting though... E.g. a less busy background wouldn't distract so much from your subject. -stephan
Where on earth did you get those tiny little glasses? lol. Definatly gotta give you credit for creativity and originality. At first, I was thinking you should have used a better background, that this was a bit cluttered. Then I was thinking about the "geek" and realized that this was the perfect background for him. lol. you did a great job putting him together. Lighting is good and focus is great. I would like to have seen a more straight on shot, however it looks like you did it this way on purpose and that is just fine as well. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.
I have to admit, this is a humorous idea for the "pencil" challenge ! I'm not sure I like the "clutter" of everything in the background, but I guess he does belong in that atmosphere! lhall
Whoever did this has a lot of creativity and a great sense of humor. Quite a bit of patience too, I think. Needless to say, this is a fun picture. My only nitpick is to do a bit tighter cropping on the right and the left to reduce the clutter. 8 Journey
I resemble that remark! (really, I do!) Great photo, very funny! The background is a tad bit busy, but viewable. (Too much time on your hands at work?) 8 Swash
I think this would have been a great picture of the pencil chap had you used a neutral background. The computer equipment is (I think) really distracting.
Very cute but don't like the background, though I am sure it is deliberate... to show a bored day at the office or playing with office stationery or such perhaps? But I tend not to like busy and cluttered backgrounds. 5, Kavey PS Does Barbie know you've stolen Ken's shoes? ;)
lol! very cute! He's even got a pocket protector! Cute idea, I would have placed him a bit differently, but I'm assuming it may have been hard because well.. he's made of pencils.. 6
The half cut off things in the background are distracting its a great idea, and I love how its free standing.and it shows you thought about what you were doing.
I hope you don't think me too forward, but would you like to go out? I'm a very good dancer. If you're as leary of blind dates as I am, you can see a photo of me elsewhere in the challenge. Call me, No. 2, at 222-2222.
What's this?? Barbie/Ken doll clothes!!? LOL! This is funny. Has that "funny college dorm room poster" feel. The background is necessary for the story of Mr. Pencil-neck, but the glass/vase in the background should be removed, and Mr. Pencil-neck placed a bit to the left to give him more room to look into the photo.
