| I would like to see you contrast this up, good idea. |

| How to avoid the harsh light syndrome? I'm still working on that myself - sometimes I like my light harsh. For this shot, though, I think it would have been more effective if the light were indeed more diffuse and softer, and if you'd come in a lot closer to the tips of the pencils - the empty space here just feels too empty to me. For softer light, try using a sheer fabric of some kind, or pointing the light at a white posterboard and reflecting that back onto your subject. It will require a slower shutter speed, requiring a tripod, but can be worth the effort. |

| The light looks very hard in this photo despite soft color. Focal point where pencils meet might be stronger if less centered. |

| Looks more like beige.....and that's unfortunate, I think. |

| Alright! I get the point! You, however, get the points! :) 8 of them...to be exact! :) |

| Harsh shadows ruing this "study" in light, form and composition. Not much to hold my interest here. |
