Pencil Holder

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I am so pumped to barely make it into the Top 10. This is only the 2nd time I have submitted anything!! After not submitting anything for the New Challenge I knew that I had to come up with something for this Pencil Challenge. It couldn't be easier all we had to do was get a shot with a pencil in it. I came up with this idea one day while trying to think completly outside of the box. We have a pretty extensive garden and an over abundance of ripe tomatos. I tried sever differant angles, but found this one worked the best. I would push the pencil in and out of the tomato. With that kind of action the tomatoe finally started to ooze our some juices. This is exactly what I was looking for!. I finally had to resort to squeezing the thing to get the shot that I wanted. Thank you all for the votes and the great comments. I am still learning and hope to make the Top 10 again someday. NormW

I think this could be a really neat shot, but it is just too out of focus to be able to decide if it looks good.

I think it would help if you had wiped off the container. It makes it a little out of focus. (6)
