Greetings from the Critique Club
composition
Nice Job. I suggest moving the subject further from the middle of the photo, and possibly using it to cover up the white blob in the background (slightly to the right in the top center) because it is kind of distracting. Also try to fill the frame or use a darker background to eliminate the white in the upper left corner.
color
Nice job with this...all of the crayons in sight ar very bright colors which helps bring your point across.
contrast
The contrast here would have been wonderful if the tip of the black crayon was not in the midst of the shadows. Again try using the tip to cover up the white blob in the background.
focus
Well done.
depth of field
This is my favorite aspect of the shot.
lighting
Try lighting this from a lower angle and see what happens, although I do like the reflection of the lighting on the crayons.
any other element of the photo that stands out or is lacking in some way
Overall I think that this was one of the best shots in the challenge. Please take these comments into consideration, re-shoot this idea, and let us see the results. ~Rob |

| Not sure I ever heard that one (to my face at least), but it's a pretty good and literal interpretation. I would have lgked to see the black crayon somehow more contrasted against the background. The dark shadows in the box obscure part of the tip outline. |

| Very well done...nice concept. Really don't like the border...but that's personal taste. |

| terrific photo! I like how the black crayon stands out so much clearer and sharper than the rest, the DOF is great! |

| Great photo. I might have tried a looser crop, but I'm not sure how that would have looked. Good literalism. |

| A little pulled out by the slightly broken box... but still a very good one |

| Exceptional shot, and meets the challenge perfectly. Great lighting, nice and sharp where it needs to be. In the running for a ribbon I am sure. |
