I don't see the background as grey but it is a little lighter than other backgrounds. It doesn't matter anyway in my opinion because I think the lighter color blends in and enhances the out of focus details and helps to draw the eye to the pencil point. This is a great macro and very imaginative. Good luck! shortredneck
great idea! I think I would have liked a little more DOF and the colors seem a bit off, but I might be wrong on that. Something other than grey as the background color might have brought the flower out even more. 7 beegee
hahahaha, nicely done. This is a great idea! I like the DOF, but I personally would have liked to have seen the flower centered in the middle of the frame.
Very nice and creative idea! Looks like it could be a black eyed susan. :) The angle is great and it is framed very nicely. Lighting is good. Not too bright and not too dark. Great idea and good luck in the challenge.
At first glance I wasn't impressed. However, upon a closer look I see the merits and creativity of this photo. How in the world did you get this pencil to look the color of raw meat. Good DOF and lighting. Impressive and creative. =6 syamjonimi ;'-D Second review = 8
This is a very cool idea. I don't really like the way it looks, the fuzziness off in the distance never really pleases my eyes, but the whole is too good to pass up. Let's say 9, Swash
looks like a puppy. focus doesn't work for mer, nor does the placement of the image, where is the enter of interest? the nose or the tongue? background color is blah
UPDATED COMMENT: In reviewing my scores, I found this photo fit in better with those I scored a seven than the ones I scored a six. I have adjusted your score accordingly. I wonder whether the softness in the background is intentional -- it adds to the soft, flowery feel of the photo. Still, it leaved me wondering what it would look like with wider depth of field. Perhaps youll post outtakes...? Also, I really should comment on your originality. Quite clever. 7
ORIGINAL COMMENT wow, an artist on multiple fronts... 6
