 I had no clue what to do with a pencil. So i made a jail for my Ash Bobble Head. Since he has a chainsaw i tried to make it looked like he was trapped in a cage or jail made of pencils.

Nice use of the Evil Dead dude. Have you seen Evil dead the musical yet a must see for fans of the movie.

Now on to the photo. I like the use of light (it looks like a flashlight), it gives off soft tones and casts just the right shadow. The DOF is great with the nose and pencils being in focus and fading out from there. Good outside the box shot. I'll bet it was fun to do.

I know the pencils are the subject, but the focus would have been better on the eyes to make for a better image

I like your idea - it's creative. For me, with different lighting or a bit more sharpness, I would have scored it higher.

Great idea. Colors are too dark and seem to be off?

A bit too dark and focus is a bit soft.

I think you should up the contrast on this one to really make it great.

I like that the dude has some chainsaw or something- which suits the look on his face. The lighting is nice and dramatic. I'm thinkin it might be cooler if the 2's were't there right in front of the face (making it more subtle). I'd also take a look at the histogram- could use brightening in the midtones IMO.
