Thankyou all for ur comments. It feels nice to see this make the top 10. On how this was done.....the setup is just one diagonal of pencils interleaved at the tip. I set the camera to long exposure and exposed the pencil tips alone using a flashlight. I moved the setup a little in both horizontal and vertical direction and then exposed the pencil tips again. Repeat this a few times.
OK, obviously some kind of multiple exposure or prism effect, but I hope you explain it in detail. Very intriguing and expertly executed. The misalignment at bottom left was probably frustrating, and I wish the lighting was a bit more dramatic (right now it's almost even, but the hot spots at left and shaded top right corner don't seem "intentional" enough). Maybe a large window and reflector? Still, it's one of my top 5 picks, and a likely ribbon contender. 9
You must have a cross pattern filter in order to do this within editing rules. I like it. Only minor complaint is the shadows seem a little strong and they complicate a detailed pattern a bit too much.
My favorite entry of the challenge! Such precision to match all of those up, like a beautiful quilt. The only thing that distracts me a little and keeps me from awarding a '10' is the sporadic lighting.
