Wow!!! When I saw this image I knew there would be comments about pencil "lead" being graphite. I had no idea there would be this many, or this high of a percentage pointing out.
Yes thankyou everyone for your comments and I will NEVER forget the fact that lead pencils do not contain lead!!!!..silly me..but it is one way to get lots of feedback.
Nice comp and concept. The BG is a bit dingy-white, that should be a quick levels fix, and ease up a bit on the sharpening. Again, nice concept, but take your time with the processing. There is real potential here.
interesting photo. good idea for the challenge, unfotunatly its graphite thats in there now(sorry, im sure you've heard that a million times already) i like how soft and dreamy the background is. its too bad the pencils are a bit out of focus themselves
Ummm, modern pencil "lead" is actually graphite. Graphite is a form of carbon, which is also an element, so this is not DNMC. However, it does make your title incorrect.
Good, though I've seen similar shots that managed to squeeze just a little more detail into the subject. Still worth a 6 from me.
I think that had the contrast been a bit higher, this might have been a bit more depth given to this shot. But, I like the concept and oddly enough, not a lot of people thought of it!
And everyone is probably giving you a hard time because lead in pencils is really graphite, which I think is carbon. Pretty good macro - I like the shallow DOF.
A good image, but it would have been a genius move to entitle the image "carbon", as it is graphite, rather than lead. (There might be lead in the paint on the pencils.)
