I Haven't Seen Your Stupid Pencil

Now this is just too much of a stretch for me. Let me suggest the following test to check whether your image might fit the challenge: Imagine giving only your picture (without the title) to somebody together with a multiple choice list of four or five challenge topics. And then ask them to guess what they think the challenge is. Your goal is to choose the other possible answers (besides the actual challenge title) in such a way that most people would choose the correct answer. If this task (choosing the other options to make sure the right one is selected) is difficult, your image does not fit the challenge.

You picked the wrong street in Pencil Town, Pen!

Hehe, so cute. And what an effort! Awesome. 9. (Would have been a 10 with more interesting lighting. Something that would have made it look like a scary, dark alley in the middle of the night, for example.)

Very nice. I'm curious to hear about the setup. Is the pencil hanging from above and the picture has been turned by 90°?

Awesome picture! Something different. The drop makes it more interesting and adds a sense of scale. Composition and shallow DOF are great. One of my favorites in this challenge.

Oh, so sweet! The title is perfect, the kid really does look scared (or at least concerned) and the mum looks so unterstanding and calm. Great shot!

Jorge, you're back! I was wondering where you were. This image is stunning and now that I read about all the details I'm even more impressed. I'm glad it did so well.

Wow, thanks for sharing the setup. Seeing all the creativity and effort that went into this shot I appreciate it even more now. DPC is so inspiring and fun particularly thanks to people like you. Thank you!
