| Try to get more contrast next time. |

| You've got a narrow depth of field but Im struggling to see what you were trying to focus on. I think a little more contrast and light would have helped. |

| Original thinking to have the focus on the back end. Somehow it just doesn't appeal to me however - may to busy background so you drift away from the pencil itself. 6. |

| I'd rather see the tip of the pencil in focus and the back out of focus. I put this in photoshop and i like it much better with more contrast and brightness. |

| I am afraid to say that it is a rather boring picture. Perhaps if you had some color or more interesting background. |

| Gives a good sense of length. I would've prefered it if the focus was on the sharp end though. |

| I like the idea. I have tried something similar, but it is quite difficult to decide where the focus should be. I like the drops as they break the smooth surface of the pencil. Maybe a bit too dark. |

| Um.....I'm not a big fan of using the challenge category in the title and you did it 3 times. There is some good distortion factor going on here, if it were a little lighter and better focus would help me with this score. syamjonimi ;'-( |

| O.K. it's a pencil.....I don't see why the soft focus on the tip, don't understand the water? droplets on it. Low appeal/interest. 5 Confused A.K.A. Swash |

| It looks like a very long pencil. Is it the perspective or is it a very long pencil ? Two problems for me though: the tip out of focus, and the lack of white and black (I'm sure there's a technical term for this). |

| A plain background would have helped this our tremendously. |

| more light might improve the contrast and heighten the detail in the bite marks. |

| I would prefer that the entire pencil be in focus and your file size seems to compressed. |

I like the idea, but find this too grey and too dark. I like the unusual DOF where focus is at the back of the pencil not the front, it kind of pulls you in. The variation in the background confuses me, I can't figure out what it is.

| The pencil´s tip is very out of focus, is ti intentional? |
|

| Yup, it's a pencil. but unless I'm missing something, that's all it is. Focus is a bit soft for my taste, but that's just an opinion. Visual appeal is pretty low. Lack of color, background and creativity makes me think it was a last minute submission?? However, the angle is very nice. Makes it kind of look like a long skinny pencil. Good luck with the challenge. |

| I like the DOF, but I think it might have looked better with the point in focus. 5 -lennier |

| missing light, colours (even grays). Focus ? |

| very unoriginal and plain. Besides that, it need more sharpness and it would help if the focus is on the tip not on the back. |

| Too dark, gray, out of focus. |

| Sorry, but it just didn't do anything to me. |

| This photo needs some contrast... there is not enough tone variation here... the point of the pencil being out of focus doesn't work well for me either. Maybe if the lighting was stronger, the extra contrast would be here... - jmsetzler |

| Black and white might have worked nicely if the photo had some real lights and darks, but everything being equal, you ended up with a very gray photo. Also, I would like the point to have been in focus, but then perhaps it wouldn't have had the illusion of depth that it currently does. 5 |
