This is very nicely in focus. I love the grain on the wooden table. This kind of represents my frusteration in the pencil challenge. lol. The lighting is great and I love the angle. To the left of the photo where the pencil goes off the photo, there is a white object that looks like it is holding the pencil up off the table. I think the photo would have higher visual impact if we couldn't see that. Would seem more like the pencil is hovering. Great idea and good luck in the challenge.
