Yes focus was a bit soft by the end of the pencil, reason why I cropped the original idea to the final entry... this shot was pretty much an accident! I was burning it well, so I tried, had to light it up billionsof times as it kept going off by itself! As you can see the lead of it stayed completly there...altho a little bit "toasted" lol

Not as much detail of the charred end that I would have thought it would have.

I like the concept of this image, but I find the border a little too thick and thus distracting.

I like the black & white. Your border is a bit too thick and detracts my eyes from your focal point, but a creative idea for the challenge all in all.
