Like the light painting idea- unusual... would liked to have the crayon stand out a bit more- use some of the allowed advanced editing techniques to give its edges a bit more definition

Haha, interesting shot. Too bad the blue crayon doesn't pop out as much and the black is, well not black enough.

i like the lighting and how you set up the shot. your post processing looks very good too. i'm not sure the shallow dof adds anything to highlight the texture, i'd like it a bit more of the closer crumbles were also in focus

A very creative look at crayons - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. Should be a sure bet to win a ribbon or place high as a top twenty image. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. If this image does not win a ribbon, then the reviewers need to have their heads examined and retake Creative Process 101. Well done.

I really need to learn how to do this painting with light stuff, it looks so cool. Great shade of blue for the background there.

I do like this picture. What did you use for the face? obviously some sort of light but how did you do it on the table like that? or is that not really a table? I cant tell.
