Had really no idea what to do this week. Nearly didn't submit but then had the idea of an unused pencil with a pencil sharpener.

For having a metallic pencil, and a whole lot of metal in this photo, you did an amazing job job of keeping reflection and glare off all the metal. Beautiful lighting and lighting control. The angle is great for the purpose of having the pencil as the main subject. Personally, if there wasn't a "pencil" challenge to be met here, I would back the camera up, give it a wider angle and replace the pencil with a bottle of flavored lotion. Strawberry. And throw in a couple pair of edible undi... oh, now I've gone too far. LOL Great photo and good luck in the challenge.

Cute play on words. The covering on the pencil makes it look out of focus at the bottom end, but I really think this is the pencil's fault. The pink boa (?) and the pink background are a bit too similarly colored to distinguish the two. 6 Swash

Creative title. Different idea. A little blurry though...

This is a well thought out and clever shot. It’s well composed and technically unfaultable. Clever title tooâ€Â¦

The pencil doesn't really fit into this scene.

whats the pencil for,
08/20/2002 01:15:00 PM
I don't usually look at titles but like yours. Very pink, not a good colour for me, but it fits your shot. Very 1970s slightly riskee feel to it. ;)

Very suggestive, interesting idea :). I get how the pencil is a virgin, not yet sharpened. Nice colourful, high contrast photo :)

I love the creative shots. This is creative. Great title. Wonder how many people wont get it.
08/19/2002 09:22:00 PM
Hmmm... Did you buy those props just for the picture or were they just lying around... ;) Very humorous pic and great title... I love the colors and layout, but I do wish the links at the bottom of the picture did not get cut off. shedonist

Rather odd and rather different, but that's why I like it. Strangeness/Humor!! Well done. Score 7 ~Kee

don't think I will a another gold pencil again without this image. IIII like it
08/19/2002 02:10:00 AM
Did you really mean "virgin" or "verging....."? I can see the technical merits of this picture, however, it doesn't do much for me. I understand some aspects, others not; all in all I find it contrived. Journey
