ok this is my AR side talking...why didn't you flip the pencils...then they would read right...or turned it over so you don't read a name brand on it...but otherwise back to the important stuff...good bright colors
The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems as the image appears to be over sharpened, but that may be a lighting artifact. The DOF could have been used more effectively. A good solid entry into the challenge.
