thanks for your comments... i had to crop the bottom thusly for a couple reasons.
a) the pencil was small in relation to the cup, and showing more cup would have unbalanced the pencil part
b) the cup was on something that i didnt want to show.
the white white background is the result of using a white sheet with a 500 W light behind it so that it glows. there is a another light up and camera right providing the highlight on the pencil and cup :) |

Excellent photo. Clean and simple. The contrast is just right. Excellently achieved white background. Great cropping - no, perfect cropping. I can't see one thing to 'complain' about. Professional looking. Great Work 10

Nice, clean shot, with limited colour, black, red and white is a classic combo. I think I'd like to see the whole cup, with the white background curving seamlessly from behind to below it.

| Crisp composition. But, why did you crop it so tight at the bottom. It makes it look unfinished, I'm afraid. |

| I like the simplicity of both the composition and the usage of colors a lot. The only thing that's bothering me, is the harsh cut-off at the bottom, but I guess that couldn't be avoided because of the size-restrictions. |

| Great job of capturing this in a way that the other side of the basket isn't distracting. I took a pic of a fan with a similar pattern and it make my eyes go buggy. Did you get that effect by adjusting focus? Anyway, The lighting is beautiful. I love the placement of the subject in the photo. I wonder why you cut off the bottom of the basket though? If there wasn't something really goofy happening with the bottom of the basket, I'd like to see it. Sometimes you don't have a choice to cut something out though, totally understandable. The contrast of the basket to the red pencil is very nice to look at. I'd love to see this hanging in an office or office supply store. It would even look good in my art room. Great job and good luck with the challenge. |

| I like the simplicity and white background. Light seems a bit too harsh. Would also try it without cropping the bottom off. |

Very simple, but very striking photo. I love how the darkness of the basket contrasts heavilly with the white background. My only beef is that the color of the pencil seems a bit off, but otherwise this is a top 10 pick. 9 -lennier
(ok, I changed you to a 9.) |

how did you make the background so white?
i like how the angle of the pencil and the square things contrast together. good work! |
