Description This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and it took about 40 shots to get it right. I was using Crayola pencils, which bore the golden logo that kept shining on other pencils. In this picture, you can faintly see this in a couple of pencils towards the top - I attempted to edit it out in Photoshop, but couldn't get rid of it completely. But since this was the best of the bunch, I thought I'd share it with y'all...hope you enjoy it

Wow. I love it!
My first thought of it's concept was about standing out & breaking the routine. I don't see any racist insinuations in it. It's great!

This is the strong image of the 'different', the sheep that left the crowd, the one who owns his own ways... Wonderful...

I love this, it's so simple yet it has a lovely meaning. At least to me it does. It basically says "It's okay to stand out and be different." I think most everyone longs to be that white colour pencil ;D You did an excellent job!

"NOTE: This photo is NOT promoting racism. Please stop with the racism comments." -- I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it. If people can't enjoy good photography because they misunderstand your intentions, it is not your fault, but theirs. I personally this -- and I you.

very simple idea, with great results. I like very much =] i have been meaning to start some studio work like this. I recently had ankle surgery and am stuck to my room so now seems like a good time to learn.

iamthejabberwock [2007-08-09 05:13:39 +0000 UTC]

Neat. I can't really distinguish the two light green ones. Also, I would have taken out one of the yellows - you only used one of every other color. Otherwise a very cool shot.

Beautiful picture I love pics like these, partly because I like colorful/rainbow things, partly because it's cool seeing simplicity in such a today's complicated world. I just happened to stumble across your gallery and saw this, I just had to favorite it.

I didn't think about racism at all when I first looked at this pic.

It's simple, but effective. It says ''I'm different'' or something like that.
Well, you get my point. Awesome pic.
