Thx everyone for all the wonderful comments! It is so exciting to have a photo place in DPChallenge. I hope everyone can land a photo here at least once just to see what I mean. Good luck and have fun!
Very nice idea! The green leaf is a good addition to the yellow pencil. Good composition, lighting and focus. Good work that the glass shows (almost) no reflections from your light source. -stephan
this picture rocks! i feel like it must be gr8photo's work.... if not--then ooops! ;-) I seem to have an affinity for the absurd and this picture is that! a 10 for you!
Does this work for growning new pencil trees? Interesting idea and a good shot without getting a bunch of reflection from the water and glass. It actually looks as if the roots are growing from the eraser. White on white is good. My only problem is that you don't get pencils from Ivy. It doesn't detract from the quality of the photo at all. My first impression wasn't great and I am ashamed to tell you where I first scored your photo. Rest assurred that is being remedied at this moment. =9 syamjonimi ;'-D
Very cool and creative. (Running out of steam for commenting - so being brief) Lighting, clarity, composition, time and effort, skill - GREAT WORK 9 Ruthann
The clarity of this is very nice. Great focus. Lighting is perfect. Originality and creativity both apply nicely here. I like the placement within the frame. I notice a few reflections in the very bottom of the glass, but they aren't distracting at all. Actually, they add a bit of color to the photo. Also, the light glare on the top of the glass is used very nicely in this photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
This is just beautiful, and also clever. I don't like the way the rest of the glass is cut off. I think if you're not wanting the stem etc in your frame maybe it would work better with a regular tall thin tumbler so there would be no need to crop some out? 7, Kavey
i like this photos-definetly one of my personal top 5 photos of the week. Its a beautifull shoot, an original idea, and all the technical aspects of the photo are great!
This is such a clever idea! Nit - the root seems like it's bolted to the pencil? This is so good, I had to bump you up one, welcome to the nines! Swash
beautiful concept :) This is a really nice idea for this challenge. I love the color (or lack thereof) and the contrast in this image. I think a neat enhancement to this image would have been to tint the water a very light shade of green or blue with some food coloring... I'm not really sure, but i think that could have been a nice minor modification that would have created an even higher sense of 'wow' in this photo :) Great shot... = 9 - jmsetzler
What a fantastic idea! Dang, I really need to "up" the creativity level of my own shots. I like the contrast and brilliant colors. This is just a great idea.
This is excellent! great idea. well executed. simple and direct. no distractions. only suggestions would be to crop lower on the glass maybe and try a little less exposure. it seems a bit bright.
