| I have to smile at this. I used to work in a lumber yard and had to carry one of these around all day to mark lumber, trim and pipe for cutting. I was the only girl that worked there and I was the only one that ever remembered to take my pencil with me to the yard, so it seemed like I did all the marking. Anyway, great photo. The focus is great and so is the lighting. The bottom right corner gets a bit dark, but it doesn't take anything away from the photo. Kind of adds even more mystery. Great idea and good luck with the challenge. |

| Good 'ol blue collar pencil has lived a hard life. Refreshing after looking at all the new shiny pencils this week. Your photo really tells a story. The background not being stark black adds to the feeling rather than distracting. The brightness of the flash on the green is a little distracting and I see a few errant white pixels in the dark background but, overall I like this very much. =8 syamjonimi ;'-D |

Love the foreground, sooo battered and it reminds me of a womble. I don't know why it just does. Not keen on carpet background.

| it sure looks like this pencil has a lot of history. i'm not too sold on the background, maybe paper or cardboard would've been more fitting for a pencil. also, if you could have rotated it a bit rather than photographing onto the flat side you could maybe highlight the colors and the shape a bit more. just a thought, would have to try it to see if it works. -- gr8photos (4) |

| Interesting subject. It really stands out because it is such a weathered pencil. It kind of reminds me of one those really old tortoises. I really like this shot. |
