I like your composition, the purple looks more like blue though...

Interesting take on the challenge but entirely too much wasted space, need to be cropped.

very nice, but the points don't meet evenly

very simplistic

Ooh, you just missed with the pencils. If the edges were just touching and perfectly symmetrical, which I know is hard to do, but not impossible, it would have gotten probably a ten.

I wish the purple was a little more saturated but the composition is nice and the space works well for this shot

almost perfect - very minor thing to match the tip of the pencils excatly would have made it perfect :)

I like this actually. Simple and lots of blank space, which really works for this pitcure. I think it could have been better with a brighter blue pencil, but it still is cool.

too much deadspace that serves no purpose whatso ever.
uninteresting photo but fits the challenge.

Interesting!

focus is spot on and I really like the use of negative space. My only wish is that the pencils were a bit brighter/vidid. Nice idea well executed

Minimal. Simply. Clean and nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2006 03:22:00 AM
Oh too bad they didnt align. Still a great shot though ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2006 02:22:44 PM
Minimalistic, and for that, the point of contact atracts all my attention. Because of that I can see the pencils are not aligned.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2006 09:43:22 PM
why is there more of the blue one than the yellow one?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2006 12:04:19 PM
very good,I like it. only 1 mm too high the yellow point.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 11:15:43 PM
good shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 09:39:16 PM
Good idea. With something this simple, I think it's really important that those two tips actually line up. Like it otherwise.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 07:08:38 PM
5 - Fairly clean. Like to see the points dead on perhaps, more balance, not sure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 03:19:55 PM
Simple works!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 01:04:12 PM
Very fine minimalism and well executed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 06:52:42 AM
it's nice and simple...part of me is distracted by the fact that the two points don't quite line up, and on a shot that is minimalist like this, they really need to be perfect...in my opinion anyway
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 06:18:16 AM
The yellow one is too high by a mm !
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2006 02:41:50 AM
Nice idea. Too much dead space. The extra dark/light difference is a problem with pigments.
