Date: Oct 16, 2007
Aperture: 9
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/4

 I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I saw this challenge. Much thanks to timj351 for the guide on liquify filters!!!

By far the hardest part was getting the damn pencil tip to perfectly line up with the end of the books.

I like the composition (unlike my macro submission!), so lets hope this is the image to break a 6.

I'm wondering how you did that, and looks to me that it does not comply with basic rules. Nice idea anyway.

lighting seems a bit drab and flat, focus could be a bit sharper, creative idea though

interesting idea and I'm curious how you set this up. I think it would be improved if you were background were white instead of grey. It makes the image look dull.

Basic editing??????

Nice creative idea. My only change would be to boost the levels to make the background white, not grey. Perhaps opening up a stop would work better.

Great idea and great composition. A bit more contrast would make this pop a bit more (if whites were more white). I also kinda wonder how in the world this was done.
