The glove looks a little over-enhanced, ad I think the pencil itself would be better in focus.

Great idea, wonderfully composed. The hand may be slightly under-exposed I think, but still an 8 from me.

Nice idea. I think focus on the pencil and a deeper DOF might have worked better. (5)

Um, I don't think you're going to win with that.

This is a good idea.. the only thing lacking is good light on the glove.. would have improved it vastly..

I think this is a great idea but the pencil needs to be in better focus as the gloved hand becomes too strong in the image.

The DOF being so shallow and to focus point being the glove made it difficult to really look at this photograph.

Pencil shoud be in the sharp focus, not the hand.

a little too much DOF. I would like to see the other person more in focus.

:-) Lol. I like it. having the other fighter in the background definitely helps your image. Well executed. Good luck in the challenge.

Interested DOF use - but I would have shifted the focal point to the pencil, rather than the glove at the extremity of the photo.
