Comment by RedRuthann:
Really nice work - the pencil is jumping out at me! I like the whole thing - the colors and the way the blue is on the side and sort of blends with the other pencils and how stark the light is on the tip of the red pencil - this photo is screaming - look at me! look at me! Very artistic - reflects a lot of time and effort (was a 9) 10!

Cool effect on this. I don't really like the DOF though. I wish it was either smaller so the top of the pencil was more blurred or bigger so the whole pencil was in focus. Anyway, it's still one of the better shots this week.

Comment by sohr:
This is way cool... would love to know how you did it. Picture seems a little blotty up top, but that may be a DOF thing. It is also a bit too bright for my taste. --6-- sohr

I like the contrasting colors, the "smoky" effect, and the nice DOF.

I like this image and wonder how you did it. The increasing blur on the other pencils works very well. It creates a nice mystique. 7 for now definitely will revisit lateron this week. Journey.
Update: This image is one that keeps pulling my attention again and again. As a humdrum aside, I get the feeling that the photographer is someone who likes to work with pencils since they are sharpened with a knife :) Anyway, congrat and a 10 Journey

I think this had the makings of a great shot but just missed the mark a little. Focus a little too soft...I'm not even sure but I just felt myself wanting something else.

Technically well done, meets the challenge. My only gripe is with the sharpness of the imageĆ¢€Ā¦

Good DOF and contrast. Complimentary color and composition. Title could have been better. =8 syamjonimi
