Your dof is a bit too shallow -- I would have liked to see the tips of all the pencils in focus. Sharpenning them would have made the image a bit stronger, I think.

hmm..in some way it fits the challenge, but it's kind of flat and boring

However, the pencil must be used or communicated as something other than a pencil in the photo.

A pencil that is a pencil.

Ack, that sounded catty didn't it? Ok, what I meant was that you've taken a shot (and a very good one I should add too) of a pencil being represented to us as a pencil. You've done exceptionally well with lighting, dof and composition, but unfortunately failed on the challenge brief which was to communicate as something other than a pencil. Apologies for my initial harshness :)

This is probably my least favorite. Sorry. You are supposed to use pencils as something other than pencils. If you were implying something with the title, it was unsuccessful. Better luck next time. Looks like you probably have a pretty sweet lens, though.

Sorry, but isn't this just a nice photo of some pencils?

I would have liked a bit greater DOF, but this remains but a pencil

Yes good idea, a good lil representation of out of the crowd but the execution is not top notch... I would've tried to make this a whole lot more tidier, like make sure the pencils at the back were in a straight line to emphacise more that the pencil in the midle is out of the crowd, that it stands out more...

I don't really see this as "being represented as something other than a pencil"...

Not a bad image, but for me, your image doesn't communicate as something other than a pencil as stated in the challenge rules. Sorry.
10/17/2007 02:56:26 PM
