This was one of my 3 10's. The colors and detail are outstanding and I like the composition very much. Congrats on your top 10 finish.

Way to go Philip! This was one of my favorites in this challenge. I can see it lining the walls of art classes across the world.

Congrats on your excellent placing! Didn't get a comment written on this one during the challenge, but I love the contrast of the bright colors against the neutral background, and also the great lines made by the placement of the pencils.

A very dynamic image!

Simple and very effective. Its a shame the 7th colour is not there. I would like to see the DOF on all the pencils as its is slightly lost at the back.

You're missing a shade of purple. lol oh well. I like the shot. I do have 2 nit picks though. First, the lighting on the blue pencil is way brighter than on the rest of them, making it stand out as a distraction. Second, the spot where the purple color meets the wood on the purple pencil is rough, where the rest are smooth. Otherwise, a very nice shot. Good focus, great background, nothing distracting there. And mostly lighting is good as well. It's a fun shot too, which is nice. ~Heather~

Ouch! Very sharp, color idea is unique, the boarder is a nice addition really adds to the shot...a perfect 8 in my book!

Lovely composition and wonderful idea! Would make a great print, I think. Marks off for dust in the background, though.
