This is the first time I've tried shooting a still life like this... I've taken inspiration from other shots much like this on DPchallenge.... I don't have any great lights or anything, plus this would've been better w/ a macro lens. oh well.... I'm pretty happy with it, but can see there still remains room for improvement.
opened into photoshop, adjusted RAW
cloned out a few dust spots and specks on the pencils and background.
levels, curves, rotate 135 degrees clockwise, flatten, crop, add border, save for web.
c&c welcome!

Nice work on the positive negative idea, the lighting is ok as well, only lil problem is that is a tad oof? If it was nice and sharp it would be a very strong entry! Good luck ;]
