very cool idea. my preference would have been to see the pencil point in focus instead of the sharpener. good job.

A prelude to some of the pencil phtos for this week. This has a really nice, eyecatching composition. Colors are not overly saturated, which is usually good. Nice to have the background gradually go from white to grey behind the pencils. The focus looks to be set on the sharpener/shavings and I'm wondering if you toyed with setting the focus on the red pencil's tip in the foreground and decided that the sharpener looked better in focus.
Score: 7

I like the fact that you have the unsharpened pencils in the background. I also like that the sharpened pencil and the pencil shavings are clear and the unsharpened ones are just hanging out in the background. How many red pencils did you go through before you got this one so perfect? Nice job and good luck with the challenge.
