cute. I think this is the pencil to a palm pilot. correct me if i'm wrong. i've never really seen one up close. angle and lighting are great. frame placement is ok. I wish the black pointer thing was a little farther away so maybe it was a little clearer. I can't really make it out, and never seeing one before, even harder for me to understand really what i"m looking at. however, focus and other technical aspects are fine. good luck with the challenge.

Photoshop and a graphic tablet's pencil. Clever, fitting for this site. What is the reflection on the computer screen? If is is intentional, I am missing the point.

Beautiful and interesting design--off beat and stylish. andrewm

I don't understand the intention of this photo. What is the computerized image and what does it represent? Is that the eraser of a mechanical pencil? The play of light on the pencil (?) is nice, but overall, I think this is a poor photo. Perhaps if you'd just worked with the pencil and the framing, but the computer icon only adds confusion for me, and leaves the pencil seemingly unimportant in the photo. I'm sorry, but I scored this a 1.

if i didn't know this was the pencil challenge i would've thought you had a pen there, this is not recognizable specifically as a pencil. there are some highlights on the pen. interesting with the 'pencil' design in the back (it's a little pixelated ;), but, to be honest, the shot just isn't very interesting to me and i think (personal interpretation) you barely meet the challenge. sorry. -- gr8photos (2)

Is that a pencil in the foreground? I honestly don't recognize it as such. I like the yellow and white lights on either side of your object. I also don't get the significance of the artwork in the background, but am assuming it has something to do with the concept you were attempting. (maybe pencil in pixelation?) The reflected light on the right side is also a bit distracting. 6 Swash

Cool idea. I'm sure you're being rated down for not meeting the challenge though! I like it, personally.

I don't think the challenge name should be used in the title.

Meets Challenge Theme:I'm sure this must be some kind of pencil that I've never seen...so Yes even though it isn't recognizable to me.
Technical :nice lighting on the pencil, but the image could be more clearly focused I think.
Composition:good, interesting design
Creativity/artistic:fair
Remarks:On a personal level I don't find it very appealing...too cool for my taste, but like I said, that's personal.

it doesn't look like much of a pencil to me. i just dont get this photo at all
08/19/2002 01:43:00 PM
I haven't seen this before but what I think I am looking at is the stylis of a PDA device that has drawen a pencil not a pencil.
08/19/2002 12:26:00 PM
Where is the pencil?
08/19/2002 11:38:00 AM
This doesnt really meet the defination of a pencil to me, evenif the graphic is of one.
08/19/2002 10:43:00 AM
like the idea, not so much the quality.
08/19/2002 10:03:00 AM
A bit grainy. There isn't one absolute subject here as the focus is not concentrated or clear. I think I get the meaning....
08/19/2002 08:45:00 AM
very interesting
08/19/2002 05:55:00 AM
Great idea! My only criticism is the window reflected in the screen on the far right. Great shot though.

Great shot – but there doesn't seem to be a pencil in the pictureâ€Â¦
