This is a nice macro view, but I don't care for the lighting tint here... If your camera has white balance capabilities, you may want to investiage them. The white balance would allow this shot to 'glow' very nicely in the indoor lighting :) - jmsetzler

this is excellent :) It's definitely one of the more creative concepts I have seen this week. It falls outside the ideas that I thought of for sure :) The color in the green napkin is very nice... the 'pencil' sandwich looks like the pencils are supposed to be there :) great work :) - jmsetzler

Self-portrait with pencil

This is a great photo... The concept and imagination behind this shot is powerful to me :) As a possible improvement, I think that a standard yellow pencil would offer a bit of 'color candy' in this photo since it would make a better contrast with the background. I think another artistic improvement with that yellow pencil would have been to color the pencil in the sketch part of the photo yellow as well. This is just an opinion from a non-artist :) great shot... = 10 - jmsetzler

Nice setup and good use of color :) There are a lot of contrasting colors in this photo, which is good in many cases... I wonder what this would look like if the background behind the pencils was an alternating pattern of two colors rather than this many different ones? Good shot :) - jmsetzler

very nice composition... i like the use of the pencil in this shot quite a bit :) I believe the shadows that are traversing her back diagonally look slightly awkward... I'm not sure if there was a way to eliminate that or not... :) - jmsetzler

This is an excellent image... I love the pencil sketch part of the photo. This is creatively impressive as well... My only critique would be the harsh lighting on the tip of the pencil... this may have been caused by the camera flash? Good shot :) - jmsetzler

This is a neat photo, but I don't know how it was achieved without spot editing. Assumint that it was not spot edited for the color, I think the lighting and soft focus here is very nice. - jmsetzler
