| Simple idea that works. The light is a bit harsh and unfriendly. Good composition. |

When I saw the title, I thought: 'Great! He or she switched the caps of the markers to make an allusion on the movie' ... and then I looked at the picture and I was a bit disappointed that I didn't find any reference of that idea. But.. it's a photography contest, and not a 'creative titling' contest, so I won't hold it against you, when scoring.
Technically speaking, I've got two remarks:
- the pens are not placed completely symmetrical. (Otherwise, if this was your intention, the difference between the two is not prominent enough.) It gives a kind of 'sloppy' impression.
- the background color doesn't match with the colors of the pens.
You've got good detail and sharpness, and the challenge is met very well (although not very creatively imho)
I hope that I not offended you with these comments. I honestly think you could do better than this. Regards, Marco. |

| Good and simple, but the writing on the pens distracts a little. Very good color and sharpness |

| This would have worked better for me if staged with, say, multiple Sharpies of each colour, or perhaps against a backdrop of coloured-in squares on a whiteboard, or something along those lines. As it is, it sort of feels like you picked the first couple contrasting coloured objects you had handy, stuck them next to each other, and gave up. |

| seems that flash was used for this shot. it shouldn't have been used. try using external light source. |

| The tight crop helps to "build tension" I think a different color of background would have been more effective. |

| Hey, I have those pens too. The green and red caps make this picture meet challenge. The colors are vivid and well portrayed. However, the subject matter and composition is rather boring. You possibly could have used the pen caps arranged in a different way with a more interesting background to meet the challenge and the picture being more pleasing to the eye. |

| Harsh lighting - don't much like those very bright reflections. Also i think this kind of shot needs very careful setting-up. With no other subjects whatsoever, the not-quite-symmetrical positioning is distracting. |
