I don't know why soft focus don't work for these voters. NICE SHOT

Great colors! A little soft on the focus.

good createtivity

Excellent job with color matching and soft focus.
08/25/2002 05:19:00 AM
Nice idea! Only flaw I can see is that the pencil seems (at least to me) not to be in focus. But since the pencil is the subject I think it should be in focus.

Great color match. This one gets top billing from my point of view.
08/24/2002 01:00:00 PM
Beautiful composition and colors. Clever idea.
08/23/2002 08:33:00 PM
Very nice balance of colors.

Wonderful and unusual, like the colour, and really can see the pencil tip as a modernised representation of a rose. The colour is such a good match which helps.

I just keep coming back to this photo. It amazes me that the color of the eraser is exactly the color of the roses! A beautiful shot - I love the soft focus. lhall

First Class!!!!!! Excellent shot. This has to be the winner. I love the color match and soft focus and lighting and framing and background and title and-------------------too feminine for my screen saver this week though.

Nice shot. Hope this is a photo and not a cut and paste.
08/21/2002 01:45:00 AM
it doesn't look very sharp. colormatch is great though. Without the 'pencil' assignment this would be a very strange image
08/20/2002 11:39:00 PM
Could use some more focus (DOF). Nice concept.
08/20/2002 10:31:00 PM
The eraser is the same color as the flowers......How'd you do that? Focus might be a little better unless you were going for that soft look... syamjonimi

Made me look twice... a beautiful floral arrangement with a twist! I like the way you've composed this, colors, etc. I think it's very creative and fun.
08/20/2002 03:48:00 PM
This should be right up there...great!
08/20/2002 11:48:00 AM
Nice use of colors. The close up is great!
08/20/2002 10:01:00 AM
Too bad it's not in focus, else this is a really interesting photo :-) nice saturation.
08/20/2002 03:37:00 AM
Lovely idea and an excellent colour match! Really great.
08/20/2002 02:45:00 AM
Great job matching the color.
08/19/2002 10:13:00 PM

I like this shot, nicely done, I think the pencil should be a little sharper, after all its the topic of this week.
08/19/2002 12:16:00 PM
I'd like to see the focus on the eraser a bit more sharp. lovely colors and unique idea!
08/19/2002 09:27:00 AM
Would have liked to have seen a bit more pencil for this challenge.
08/19/2002 08:18:00 AM
I love the fact theat the color is identical to those of the roses. very nice indeed...
08/19/2002 06:34:00 AM
Pretty good color match! LOL Nice job and idea.
08/19/2002 06:23:00 AM
Hehehe...made me laugh!
08/19/2002 06:19:00 AM
This is the perfect example of how to make a pencil visually appealing. I could hang this on my wall. Great shot. Lighting is perfect, angle is great. I like how there is a bit of background behind the pencil to have him stand out, yet still blend in perfectly with the roses. The color match is phenominal. Excelent shot 1 of only 6 10's this week. Good luck in the challenge.
08/18/2002 11:21:00 PM
Glad to see mine isn't the only one with a flower in it. :)
Great idea, just seems to need to be a little sharper. Now I'm a real amateur at this, so don't take it to heart... I could be wrong... wouldn't be the first time.

I am going through the pics for the first time and this caught my eye. I really like the humor, color, layout and `flavor` of this shot. The focus could be better, but all in all, cute!
