 Do something creative with colored pencils the challenge says.... I researched, thought hard, bought the colored pencils and when the time came to shoot, all I could do was this macro shot LOL!!
I am banging on the colors , texture and the impact to get the votes (the good votes I hope)

The arrangement was harder than I thought , actually it is quite bad (should have been a nice circle in the centre and should not have gaps between the pencils), but I was lazy as usual so no reshoot, just hoping for the best.

Really like the texture here, it adds so much visual interest without contradicting the theme

love that you can see every grain of wood in the pencils. VERY sharp. (no pun intended)

Good crop on this image. The picture is nothing spectacular in terms of subject but it works. Sharp, colorful, maybe a tad brighter? maybe not.

A very creative look at colored pencils - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. Should be a sure bet to win a ribbon or place high as a top twenty image. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.
