Great idea. A little soft around the edges, but great lighting and color.

Seems very cluttered. My eye doesn't know exactly where to look first. Not a bad photo by any means. It just doesn't hold any WOW power for me persoanlly.

i like the "ingredients of a pencil" concept. Not sure i really like having the shavings or eraser bits in the picture... what do they add? 5 sjgleah

The title of this could be "Disection" LOL. Great job. Very creative and original. I like how it looks like you just stripped the lead right out of the pencil. Vocus, lighting and angle are all very good. Overall very nice photo. Good luck with the challenge.

Clever, but the arrangement doesn't have impact, another where I'd like to see outtakes if they include same contents arranged differently.

Nice concept. This is really creative. Is it meant to be geyish in tone? I hope it does well. -7

A pencil's undoing. I like it. I love the curves of the wood near the top. My eye follows the curve around and then rides the lead right back up. Nice. 8
