Leaden Smolders Above the Rest

Very nicely done! I like the composition and the angle. Excellent shot - you can clearly see the pencil tip throught the flame. (If I had to mention anything at all, would be the {dare I say} slight glare in the front.) I still enjoyed this very much. Great work 10

Shadow and Light
by LanSnake

Comment:
Unique - different - not something I thought of! Perhaps I don't quite understand the point (no pun intended) - but, I very much like this. The use of light and shadow is excellent in such that is displays so many tones (ref to A Adams). It has a drastic value to it (extra exposure), yet is also a little subtle. Be interested to know if this was accomplished w/in the camera, or was a little tweaking necessary. Great work and effort 8

The End
by tomlewis1980

Comment:
Very nicely done. I especially like the choice of color for the pencil. (think the background is a little grey - but I think it's mostly my monitor) I see how the top half is brighter than the lower half - not sure it's intentional. Very clear image. I like how there is a light green reflection. Great effort. 9

Really cool (Running out of steam for commenting - so being brief) nice lines, detail, composition, cropping, colors - great for this. Although I know that construction paper is not very bright - I wish the colors were more vibrant - doesn't matter though - great time, effort and work 8

Creativity Tool

Really great! So soft and gentle (I'm sure you're getting a lot of-focus could be better) - very artistic work. The technique goes right along with the image that is being sketched. Love how the pencil is illuminated. Wonderful job 9

Total Addiction.
by BigSmiles

Comment:
Really Nice work - made me chuckle. Good use of lighting/exposure - good focus - the photo screams of addiction. On my screen, I see a little bit of grey near the pencil and the shadow-just noting-not judging. I like this very much 9

Awesome (Running out of steam for commenting - so being brief) Color, idea, composition, lighting, the way that the left part of image sort of fades out - all great for this image. time and effort. good work 9

pencil distortion
by shutterfly

Comment:
very creative, i like the concept. i like all of the distortions and colors. Can't decide if I agree with the extra reflected light on the left - the way that it is lit on half. But I still appreciate the time and effort. Good work. 8
