Buggy Vs Lego Mountain!

This is a superb shot technically; the lighting and exposure are spot on and it’s great use of macro. But, I think that the composition lacks something. It seems to me like everything in the shot merges together taking the eye away from the central theme. On the positive side, it’s an interesting and well thought out imageâ€Â¦ Good luckâ€Â¦

This is a great shot. I love the atmosphere and composition of the picture, especially the lighting and use of B&W. It is also the subtlest use of pencils I've seen thus far. I cannot provide useful comment on the general photography; it has no faults as far as I can see. Other pictures have used a similar idea, but I don't think that should affect my originality vote; this shot has class and deserves to score highâ€Â¦ (10)

Pen Envy

This is a great idea and a great shot. I really like the inventiveness of the composition; it looks great and it really does create a sense of conflict between pen and envious pencilâ€Â¦ (10)

Technically well done, meets the challenge. About to breathe its last, the closing moments of an aging pencilâ€Â¦

I think this would have been a great picture of the pencil chap had you used a neutral background. The computer equipment is (I think) really distracting.
