I think the title gives this some kind of sexual reference. Makes a person wonder if that was the intent. This is a nice photo. The lighting is ok, but I think that the dark shadow near the tips of the pencils is just a bit too dark. it makes the red pencil almost look like it has no lead. The angle is good and the surface makes for a good skin tone color. Good job and good luck in the challenge.
There seems to be a subtle relationship between these two. I like that a lot. I also really like the textures of the paper and charcoal, and the dark shadow. Very atmospheric.
I like this a lot, though find the shadow around the pencils just a little OTT. Love the texture of the scribble and the paper and the limited colours. 7, Kavey
I love the concept of this photo... artistically and compositionally, it's very nice :) I'm not sure if the yellow tint is the natural paper color, but I would like a white a little better here... if the paper was white, the white balance settings on your camera may help out some :) Good shot... - jmsetzler
Pity that the two pencils aren't very sharp since they are the focal point of the image. I presume it's the result of the quality of your camera. Since there are so few elements on this picture, every detail counts. I find therefore the color selection of the two pencils on the yellow background not the happiest. Journey
very hard shadow under the pencils which could do with some reflected light. Also has a very orange colour cast from the lighting which you could maybe fix with either white balance controls or later in a editing program ?
I like the picture. I would have prefer it to be more 'white' than yellow/brown. I think I would have prefer as well to have everything in focus, the pencils as well. 5
