i just wanted to have fun and play around with my classy, yet slightly obnoxious, sunglasses and play off of my artistic side (i.e. the colored pencil as cigarette)

great shot. gave you an 8. but would be over the top perfect if the bg had been ironed.

I think smoking a pencil might actually be worse than cigarettes. =) I likethe red background and overall red tone.

Lovely stylish and strong colour.

I love that you are actually holding a pencil! Smart move! Over all this is an interesting/artsy shot. Well done!

... so will pencils if you don't go on a graphite diet! Nice composition and great colours - shows your character too. -7

I love the red background - it's very daring of you to use it! Very nice overall. My one comment, it might have been better to use a different colour pencil (for the cigarette). ~8

great photo - love the colors, the light. not too fond of the title though, of course it looks like you're smoking, but a title more provocative would add more meaning to the shot.

I love this! I could easiy be a poster with those exact words on it. Great job, and use of negative space. Heck, I even like the texture (notice i'm not saying wrinkles) in the fabric behind you.

Great colours and sense of irony in the use of the pencil instead of a cigarette. The photo works really well (even the shadowed creases of the red backgorund) and looks like it's the kind of photo you'd see in a glossy magazine.

Cute and playful, don't know if the saturation adds a lot.

I went back to this one a few times before really deciding how to rate it. I've finally decided that this deserves a 10. I love the colors, the mood, and the way the red fills the negative space. Great job.

Very stylish! The choice of colors is great just like the light. They provide an appealing contrast. What could be improved? The wrinkles in the red cloth are a little distracting and I don't understand the pencil (maybe a real cigarette would have been better?) (8)

very true...
06/20/2003 01:15:06 AM
loved the picture and the "misleading" caption but wish you took up just a little more of the photo - feels like too much blank read on the left

Nice shot, is this a pen you are smoking? ha ha
06/19/2003 03:09:38 PM
Groovy photo! I like the unique use of colors and the interesting pose, too, on the lovely model.
06/19/2003 12:35:14 PM
... isn't that a pencil? hehe.. I sat here staring at it for ages. I like the shot, very arty looking. I'm sure you're getting some comments on the wrinkley background. I think it adds character.
06/19/2003 06:24:45 AM
excellent shot. I love the colors, the face, the eyeglasses.. 8

Even with the cheap looking background, the harsh lighting, and the disgusting colors, there is something very compelling about this image. Maybe it's your pose and cute face that does it.
06/19/2003 12:49:30 AM
I like the colors/hues you used here, reminds me of a certain style but I can't think of the name...

pity about the lines in the backing. otherwise an appealling shot
06/18/2003 01:07:34 PM
nice idea.. but watch the ejecution.. check the background fold, the light in your face, etf.
06/18/2003 04:36:49 AM
nice shot, I like colors, but IMHO forhead is a little bit overexposed but rest of the image is OK.

Cute shot.....love the glasses and the saturation...neat.
