Made me think of my daughter! We were sweating her math final, and all fingers were crossed.

I'm trying to figure out what significance the pencil has. The eraser area looks funny and is distracting with the blob over the metal and below the eraser.

Point is clearly made with this one and I think most of us have been there. The lighting does seem a little bright (at least I've never been in a classroom that bright). Have the studio lights melted the eraser on the pencil? :)

Good idea. 7.

Nice focus, though the lighting seems a little harsh to me. And what's up with that eraser!? haha, looks like it's melting or something. 7

I like the idea and the composition. :) The detail on the fingers is awesome! The only thing I can point out is that it seems a bit too bright and maybe needed a slight levels adjustment.

I'm not a huge fan of the composition on this one. It might have helped to show the entire hand. The image is also very "bright" and the paper seems almost blown out.

We all know that feeling...I never looked forward to math exams:-)
 06/28/2006 07:41:21 PM
not sure of the legend

Good idea, and in focus etc. What has happened to the end of the pencil (the rubber)? It was a bit offputting and distracted from the crossed fingers.
 06/28/2006 03:28:42 PM
Brings back nightmares.
The pic is a bit blown out, but I think this was the effect you were after.
I used to be able to do these problems easily back then. Now, I wouldn't know where to begin.

looks overexposed. I'm not quite sure what's up with the eraser. That ditzel on your fingers is distracting too. Cute idea.

this would be great if the lighting were a little less harsh and that pencils eraser wasnt messed up. the eraser is quite distracting. nice concept though.

top 20 score from me for originality, what's up with that eraser though?

crossing the fingers for luck... but it doesn't sell the image to me. something in the image is just blah to me.
