This took me awhile to get all the crayons and pencils lined up how I wanted them. They kinda like to roll around.

From Critique club:

I think JMO you might have problem with the compostion. There is no set pattern or rhythm to your image other than the star layout.
Main object has unequal spacing.
Perhaps a higher POV would have helped also. Maybe a shot from above the image. that way you could have used your DOF to keep everything more focused.

nothing really pops and grabs the attention

Nice shot, the left side of the photo should have been croped more, the crayons should have been more evenly spaced. JMO!

not a bad shot, but the image seems a bit dark and flat. Your white point seems pretty gray and the colors could use a bit more "pop". It also might be nice to try an off center composition to add a bit of interest... Good luck for this challenge :)

The colors just don't pop out at me on this shot. Maybe a bit more saturation? Brighter too? It could be that the background being darker than a bright white just doesn't allow the colors to really pop out as much.

well, this isn't bad, but it's not grand in comparison...you have a funny shadow on the tip of your red crayon that distracts from your shot, and I would like to see more of your subject in sharper focus...IMO (which does not count)

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.

this isn't really wowing me. maybe an empty space border would have helped(meaning space between the pencils and the frame)

Pretty straight-forward and the white background seems a bit grey.
