this is a good concept for this challenge... I like the use of the pencil :) I think two elements could possibly improve this shot as well... 1 - a little more light on the pinwheel to offer some higher level of contrast against the background... 2 - possibly a darker background to make the pinwheel stand out more as well.... good shot :) - jmsetzler

nice idea and shot, i can't believe i am saying this, because i chose a certain color scheme for my shot and people are asking for more color, but ... i would love to see more color in this one. maybe make the windmill part out of colored paper and lighten the background a little? -- gr8photos (5)

lovely colors..like the high light on the pencil..pencil could be more on an angle or placed off center.

I think a different background and or pinwheel color would have made this pop.

Clean and simple shapes, very geometric. A little too dim and shadowed.

colored construction paper would've given this a bigger POW! But very good idea.

very nice. I think it needs more of contrast

A darker background would have let you have more direct light on the fan (bring the whites up more) and would have made everything stand out in general. Nice shot!
