Nicely graphic. Looking over my votes for previous challenges, I notice I've always given your entries higher than average votes including this one. You have a good eye for a pleasing composition.

So, where's the stationery?

I would have liked this more if the pencil was in focus, and the holder was not, but that's just me.....good concept.

I find it would be much nicer in b&w.

I would've liked some more focus throughout the image

nice use of perspective and subject.

Nice colors and shadows but for some reason I seem to want the top of the pencil to be in focus instead of near the bottom.

Nice perspective, and an interesting DOF. I also like the light gradient you achieved behind the pencil holder.(and across the bottom of the cup) I may have tried the pencil the other way.

Very nice use of DOF. Love the crop as well. Some might suggest for it to be tighter on the ride side but I believe it shows just enough shadow to "fill" the frame. Nice job.

Interesting that you chose to leave the eraser end OOF. I like the effect, and the image as a whole - simple, yet elegent.

If this had less yellow in the background from the light, it would have a huge WoW factor. Still worthy of a good score.

This is an interesting photo. The out-of-focus eraser right in your face really has an impact. I'm not sure if I like the impact or not though. The patterns in the wire barrel and their corresponding shadows are nice.

Interesting. I'm not sure how much I like the focus on the bottom rather than the top, but overall it's very arty. 7

I am sure you would disagree or you wouldn't have entered the photo in this challenge, but IMO DNMC.

Awesome DOF control.

Nice photo and perspective... where is the stationery?

I like this image, even though the imediate forground is out of focus. There is something captivating about the shapes in this image. Composed and balanced very nicely.

A good idea, well executed. The latticework of the basket is almost overwhelming. Good use of colour, too; with the splash of red at the end of the pencil.

Simple stock photo-like. 7.

Nice composition. The image would have been better if the pencil was in focus.

Lovely strong image
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would have like the end of the pencil a little to the right, as it is in your face, and a little to distracting for me.....
