Comment by stephan:
Very good photo! Good composition, lighting and focus. Very creative!
Only flaw I see is that there is a pencil right in the middle which is not like the other yellow ones (not not the blue one of course ;-)) It reflects the light differently and therefore sticks out one somehow destroys the uniformity of the yellow pencils.

Nice shot, and like that the blue is a third of way down. Would like it better if more accurately horizontal and if all pencils were at same angle. The one 8th up keeps destroying the repetitive pattern, for me.

Comment by HBunch:
Great contrast between the blue pencil and the yellow ones. The lighting is good. I wouldn't want the glare on the right side to be any brighter though. The angle is great, but the framing is a slight bit off. Being the type of photo it is, even the very small bit it is off, it is very noticable and would have to go perfectly straight across the top and bottom to not be distracting. I like it, it has a very nice pattern to it. Good luck in the challenge.

Comment by floyd:
Almost modern art. That one pencil that's partly turned halfway down looks out of place to me. Im guessing it was deliberate but I dont think it adds much. Overall interest is lacking a little - maybe another sharpened pencil laid across the top at a diagonal would have helped.

Comment by lmhr:
interesting pattern... It would've help if all the pencils were exactly the same way. There's one in the middle thats a bit turned... also the fact that the blue one is round also distracts from the idea. Maybe could 've paint a pencil so you wouldn't loose the same sahpe... MHO

I REALLY feel like this is a nitpicking comment... but that one pencil about halfway down needs to be rotated so the same edge as all the others is out. It's still a very visually striking image. 6 -lennier
