Awww...poor kid! Great pic...excellent subject choice! I like the extra grass at the top and around him...makes him look even more alone (and sad) adding to the emotion. Great job! -KrazyKat

What a moment! Terrific job on subject matter and composition. It is just a shame that the quality isn't a little better but that may be due to the limitations of your camera.

What a powerful picture...I would love to know where this was and the circumstances. I like that the central focus of your picture is the young man (w/blue hair). His facial expression gives this image power. Terrific shot..great job! 10 -KrazyKat

What a beautiful shot! The lighting is just perfect and I think that b&w was a good choice. The contrast is great too. Good job! :) -KrazyKat

Wow...excellent focusing! The only thing is that it looks like there is a little bit of a reflection off of the point of the center pencil which is a bit distracting. Maybe play around with the order of the pencils as well..the yellow being in front along with the yellow background perhaps is not as visually stimulating as the red one being shown more for some contrast. Good job and good luck in the contest! KrazyKat

Terrific! Very original and overall just a pleasing picture to look at...well, you know as pencils go :-). The only thing is that the pencils aren't lined up perfectly straight which isn't a huge deal but against the black background it stands out a bit. Good job and good luck on the challenge! -KrazyKat
