| Very nice color background. makes everything stand out very well. The lighting is great and I love the angle. The shavings spill off the left edge just a little bit. I would like to see it either all in the frame, or spilling out more. With the tad bit that it is off the photo, it looks like it was almost an accident that it spilled off. The shaving in the front makes a really neat shadow and I like how the shavings are wavy like that. Great focus, and you did a really good job keeping glare and reflection off the metal part of the pencil. Overall gret job. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Nice photo. The green background color works well with this set-up. I does seem that the lighting is a little harsh and creates some extremely dark shadows. The whole thing appears to have a grainy overcast. I don't know what the cure for these things are, hopefully someone else will be more fully able to assist with their critique. |

| Nice lighting, Great focus and awesome color. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the background. Yes, it does bring the pencil out more, but it seems a bit over powering. |

| Very good execution (could be a pun). The colors contrast nicely, the arrangement is simple yet effective, and the detail is excellent. |

| I think this is a well composed and interesting shot. I like that shadows from the pencil shavings, and the color of the background. Nice. |

| I really like the green background, and how it sets up the yellow pencil, or what's left of the pencil anyway. good job. karmat |

Like colours, think background green really adds something. Feels unbalanced, too heavy to the left, perhaps because the pencil doesn't touch the edge of the frame but the shavings do. I like the way that only a tiny bit of the text remains on the pencil, just enough to give an abstract pattern, nothing more.

| Good color. Good DOF. Shadows are a little strong for my taste. Good work. |

| I like this lots! These little stubbies have always been such a part of my life... In fact I almost used one in my entry... then changed my mind and went with a different on. The green background sure makes a nice contrast with the colors of the pencil, and the detail it great. Even the shadows enhance the picture |

| Simple, but effective. The green background is good. (I'm so used to seeing black or white backgrounds that the green really jumped out at me.) Good composition, terrific lighting. lhall |
