I personally prefer something without the challenge topic in the title. How about "Get The Lead Out." It's a very unique idea. The photo does appear a little darker than it should be.

Funny. I get the humor and I think I understand that the intent was to make the white pencil stand out. IMO (NOT to offend) I this does not work - too dark. I'm sorry, I don't have much more to say.

I really like the framing on this one. It is a touch dark, and I think that causes you to lose some details, but it may be this monitor. karmat

It's a little dark, and the pencil isn't necessary in the pic. I'm scaling on necessity of the pencil to make the shot, and this one seems only to be there to meet the challenge.

I've seen lots of people comment about cropped heads in the past, but no complaints from me. It works here. Have to admit, the title adds to the humor factor. I can not help but wonder if you stopped this person somewhere on a base or something and said "excuse me, but can I put this pencil on you and take your photo?" LMAO. Anyway, not much I can say. Lighting, angle, and focus are good. The only thing I can see that isn't perfect is the background. It's kind of discolored down by his arm, but then again, that's just me being picky. Love the red white and blue touch in the pencil. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

Very creative! nice job

Too dark for me though the pencil certainly stands out well. Interesting composition with the soldier half cropped. Like that element the most.
