crisp and nicely composed with a good juxtaposition of color. If I read my monitor correctly, you may have oversharpened the image generating a bit of noise, but all in all, I love it 9
nice shot :) I like the concept of the single yellow pencil in the scene. That offers a nice bit of contrast and 'punch' in this photo. I wonder if the pencil on the left should have been turned so that the text doesn't show? Since it is not showing on any of the other pencils, I ask myself why you chose to show it on this one :) - good shot.. jmsetzler
Definately made your point. :) At first, I was lik "wonder why the yellow pencil is in there", then I realized that if you had put another green one in there, I'd be asking "where's the color?" LOL. So I think it adds variety to your photo. The lighting is great. Angle and setup are good. The framing seems a slight bit off due to the white area in the bottom right, over all good job and good luck in the challenge.
A bit soft on the focus, The one green eraser in the top left and the words just the left most pencil are distracting and ruins the symmetry. there is also some white background at the botttom right and what I think might be lighting glare on a ding in the right pencil. Good title and color contrast is good. Creative idea.... =5 syamjonimi
Interesting composition and use of color. I like how you've used the vertical elements -- the pencil in the foreground somehow gets lost a little, by blending into the background elements. A different lighting treatment might help to separate the elements in the photo, or experiment with depth of field to make the front pencil obviously separate from the rest.
I like it. The one yellow among all of the green and the one sharp point among all the erasers -- the fact that there are really two subjects vying for the eye is terrific. The pencils on the right are a bit out of focu and you're tilted a hair. I gave it a 7. I wish I could vote in .5's.
