Changing the camera angle to be more ove the tip of the subject may have helped a little.

Either it's my night shift or I am slowly loosing sanity, but I imagine a few rosy-faced clerks in the City dressed in pin-striped suits. Very nice. A bit deeper dof on the main pencil would be appreciated.

Interesting photo. I'm not a big fain of grain, but that's just me. Good composition though. 6

I think this image had a little too shallow DOF. The place where me eye initially looked (the middle of the pencil) was out of focus.

Very impressionistic image, and like the detail on the focussed tip of the pencil......

I'm giving you a 5 and I'll tell you why. I like the composition and the highly magnified nature of the photo. What I have a problem with is the general lack of balance in the image. Having the subjects tilted so severely makes me lean to the left. Also, having 4 subjects in the frame is a little disorienting. Together they form a square or circle, which makes me visually just go from each pin head to the next without stopping on one. The lines on the right are just a distraction and should go away. But the colors are bold and if you'd have omitted the yellow or green tack and gotten rid of the distracting lines, I would have given you a 7. Hope I was helpful.

I wish more of them were in focus, but I like the concept. Good color and light.

Very cool concept, but the DOF is too shallow

A good image, but it would have been better if the thing in the upper right hand corner wasn't there.

I think a wider composition to get all the pins in focus would look better.
