These bright Neon colored highlighters caught my eye at Wal Mart and I thought of this idea using them in a picture for Neon. I used one spotlight right over the pens and shut all the rest of the lights off so everything was dark. Used the tripod with my camera.

I really liked this photo... The composition is clean and simple. I also enjoy the lighting you used for this shot. I'm really surprised it didn't score better - I gave you a 9 as I felt you met the challenge in a very creative way. But alas, the numbers don't matter one wit and I certainly hope you don't let the final score discourage you. Great shot - looking forward to seeing more great work from you.
You've inspired me to try to recreate this, I have a feeling it will be more difficult than I think it will be, but will undoubtedly teach me a little more about lighting. Great composition.
Simple, clean & effective.
Good detail level. I mulled around wondering if the slight hint of the bottom of the cup was necesary or a distraction. Jury's still out on that one.
Well Done - ((7))
Theme of work and school was a real downer for me. Neon pens are great for the challenge but tough on moral. You get a few points but don't forget...some of us are still on vacation. Thanks!
