Hey everyone...I just joined and I am excited to see some great photography as well as share some of mine with you.

In this photo I adjusted the brightness/contrast and color balance using Photoshop. Other than that it is "as is".

Critique club comment by rodfulk;

Your Dof works but seems to have a little motion blur as well.
Which is okay if your going foe a wave effect. Hince the title. But the blur should been horizonal insteed of vetical. IMO.
The OOF pencil in front is a little distracting as well.
I like the idea, one could the pencil ppoints looks like waves in the sea.

the point of attention seems a bit too low in the frame. could use some more blurry pencils to the front to counteract that. background is beautifully done, perfect dof for it

i don't get the title - probably just me though. Good selective focus to bring out your subject

ok...this is picky...it seems that your shot is not "level"...it makes me tilt my head, this may have been what you were trying to do...but I think your shot would have come off better if it were level showing the "rows" of pencils better...

Interesting shot. Wish there was just a tad more DOF to bring out a bit more detail on a few of the closer pencils to the one in focus.

The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problem such lighting artifact. The DOF could have been used more effectively, but has been controlled well - a touch more DOF to sharpen the right side would have been a plus. A good solid entry into the challenge.

Nice shot, maybe cropping the top of the photo? JMO.
