the background is too busy for me. what's in the cup. I'm not sure why but it still gets a 7. :)

Definitely fits the challgenge! I find it a bit too busy and that drink/sundae is just not appealing. Good imagination though...

Very interesting. Definately creative. (Geesh, all those boxes of pencils!) I like how the one pencil is going opposite of the placement of the pencils on the box. Perhaps the one thing I would change would the the direction of the light - maybe. I can see some time and effort was put into this. 8

the overall look of the photo is too busy

Too busy, I lose track of the focal point.

Depth and colors are really good. Incredibly original idea.

I get the pun. good use of pencils.

I like the idea and the background is clever but feels too busy for me. I don't know what to look at and where to focus. My eye can't just look around it and then settle, it's a bit too frantic for me. I do like the colours though.

I love the colours in this shot; it's slightly cluttered, but it looks greatâ€Â¦

I get the point, but I think with all the boxes, it's a little busy. I love the idea. Vocus and lighting are good. No disturbing shadows, and dealing with glass you kept the glare and reflection down nicely. It actually almost looks yummy. Almost. Great job and good luck with the challenge.

YOU take the first drink! :)
