CRITIQUE CLUB REVIEW
Question. Did you shoot this in 'whiteboard' mode? Just wondering how it came out the camera looking like that :). Was it a conversion post shoot to black and white?
Graphic design wise, this is excellent. Stark , reduced to essential elements. My eye wants the pencil to project farther into the frame tho, and maybe not QUITE at such a steep angle.
I think it could have been improved a bit if you had moved your lighting in such a way that you got a bit more of a high light off the pencil point. Would have given it more 3 dimensionality.
Your DOF is narrow, and I also wonder what it would have looked like with a smaller aperature (more of the pencil in focus). If you are using a tripod, then you shouldnt have a prob with a slower shutter speed.
Great pic! |

So I'm a sucker for the simple and good use of -dare I say...negative space. Very clean-technically. I believe that the choice of boarder adds to this image. Excellent! 10

| I can't see the strangeness in your image. However, it is a great macro shot and the contrast has been really well done. |

| Good detail of the pencil. The use of thirds applies to the focal point. |

| This is a neat shot and an interesting use of high key contrast, but i don't understand the theme as pertains to the challenge... - setzler |

| I finally figured out what this is! (An incredibly close up of a pencil tip!!) O.K. now that's out of the way, what has this to do with the challenge? Nice use of negative space. 6 Swash |
