| "Chisai tsuchi kuchi"? The two characters go together to make the word "shokichi", which means 'little luck'. I guess these pencils are used in some fortune telling way. There would also be "chukichi" and "daikichi", medium and lots of luck (fortune). Interesting that someone thought it was a DH symbol... |

| I suspect that you'll get many comments on the focus, but that is PRECISELY what I like about this photo. It's clear that it's an intended blur and that matters to me. Also, really liked the contrast of the wooden burnt sienna color against the blue. 8 |

| I really like the colors and composition. How'd you do the motion-blur-type-effect? |

Love focus/ DOF effects, unusual composition and weird blue background.

| Pretty good DOF, though the bottom pencil seems a bit too soft. I also can't tell if these are really pencils, since the transition looks too smooth from wood to lead. |

Fantastic focus, great framing, and nice color. I think I'd like it a little better without the pencil in the background.

| Beautiful! I love the soft focus, and how the only sharp thing is the characters. Lovely colours. The focus seems to be radial, like you used a magnifying glass or something. Well done. |

| This made a great macro. I love the colors and the shallow DOF. Suggestions...ummm..you might try a different crop so that it is less centered, but not necessary. |

| Soft focus filter is going to get you misunderstood by the masses. Well done shot and I see the point behind the filter. You really got me thinking with the DH and symbol (could that be OH and symbol?) This is interesting, but I do question the filter use (did I confuse you there?) Even though I can see that you were centering attention on the middle of the pencil and the other's tip, there still seems to be too much fuzz in the center area. 7 Swash |

| The pencils of the world. The tip of that pencil seems to have a curved look. Is it suposed to be that way? I like how this isn't your typical "#2" pencil. And it only brings wonder to what the writing says. The focus is a little soft for my taste, but that's just an opinion. Great shot and good luck with the challenge. |

| Verry well done! I see the composition rule of thirds applied as well as diagonal lines and selective focus to direct the viewers gaze to the characters. One of my top ten this week. |

| Heh. I like the title. Although to be pedantic, it's "chiisai". |

| Wow -- the focus on this image is stunning. I'm really interested to know how it was done. The colors are also spectacular. Great job. |
