Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: I enjoy looking at this shot. The composition is pleasing, the colours are saturated but not overdone. I can see why some aren't crazy about the brand name on the pencils, but I find the eye does start looking for it and does create some flow. Had I voted I would have given this a 6.
Technical: I would try to get more light from the left, either with a reflector or second light. I'd like to see more dof too to include the points forming the upper right curve of the heart. ISO seems a little high for a still life.
Artistic: That white pencil does detract because it's right between the black, which is oof, and the chartreuse, which is in focus. I think without the black and white you could've made a smaller, tighter shape.
If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.

| I like how you formed the heart in the middle, but without over-emphasizing it - trusting that the viewer would be able to see the composition. well done. |

| this is totally picky...but I like the shots that don't show the printed name on the pencils better...just the rainbow of colors only....mind you I don't dislike your shot...it is just a observation on my part |

| Neat shot. Only crayon that looks out of place and is distracting is the white one being on a white background. Maybe a dark background would have worked better without the black colouring pencil. |

| The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems as the image appears to be less than sharp. The DOF could have been used more effectively. A good solid entry into the challenge. |
