Good closeup of the colored pencils. The composition is very interesting thanks to the great vivid colors captured. Colors seem to blend together to give the shot great harmony. From a "7" now with a second look upping to a "9"

If the photo had something with a soft focus in the top of the stack of pencils to indicate a 'Shallow Depth of Field' I would have given it another point.

I really enjoy the ultra-narrow focus here. The very blurry pencils still retain their diagonal lines, which keep the drama and excitement.

Great use of colour. I like the strong lighting - it makes it more abstract somehow.

Love the colors, but I had hoped that the tip was focused.
