You know, most of the chopsticks shots are simply ho-hum. However this one stands out from that crowd, imo, because it goes the extra mile with a complete setting to hold the illusion together. The lighting may be a little flat though, but I'd still take this over the others in a heartbeat. Well done to you!
I love the little tables. Tired of chopsticks in this challenge. Great idea and I don't think I'd want to eat the shavings. The red and yellow are a good choice here and the DOF is great.
It's funny how many people had this idea with the chopsticks. Yours is my favorite among the chopstick pictures, not only because I like the composition and the lighting, but also because you used the pencils in several different ways, even for the contents of the bowls. And if one looks at the picture quickly or from far away, one doesn't realize that anything's "wrong", it just looks natural. And then when you look another second or get closer you realize it's all pencils. Great idea!
wow! at first glimpse it's just a couple bowls with some kind of food and some pencils on top trying look like chopsticks, but then I look again and it's so much more! this is great. I love the idea of the shavings as the "food" and the full pencils as the "bamboo"? placemats! oh and I now see a slight reflection of the placemat pencils on the bowls! wouldn't it be awesome if you could somehow get a full reflection of the pencils on the bowl to make the bowl looks as though it's made of pencils? I dont know...just a random thought
I like the additional elements of the hot pads in your setup. Shows additional creativity over other chopstick entries. I also like the symmetry of your photo. The top corners are a bit dark, a bit more lighting or contrast might have helped the white bowls appear more white.
I love how the bowl is the only thing in this photo that is not composed of pencils, I didn't notice until now and I give major props to the creativity, considering everyone chose to use the pencil as chopsticks in this challenge, you definately gave it an edge...
a tasty meal! nice graphic work, I had used only one meal, though, that could have been presented larger to show more detail. A little more contrast had also helped.
