your lighting is so bright that the tips of the pencils loose their clarity, and your colors are just a little to bright, a gradient filter would have helped this
The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. The lighting does tend to over power the image's saturation and cast some minor light blooms which are distracting. The DOF could have been used more effectively but it works. A good solid entry into the challenge.
