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
NOTE: This photo is NOT promoting racism. Please stop with the racism comments.

Awesome! Love the composition. I've been considering doing something similar, but have been focused on portraiture lately.

Funny you mentioned that - I've been trying to get around to portraiture (an area I need some experience in); I'm hoping to start shooting some next month. Best of luck with yours!

Very nice! I love the simplicity of the design, but for some odd reason, I know this is going to sound OCD, the chip on the white pencil lead bothers me. Awesome shot though!

this one caught my eye the most..prolly cuz i work alot with color pencils..and i always put them in rainbow order. i think its weird that ppl were making racist comments. i mean u could stretch in that direction...but that def did not come to my mind at all.

this is a nice shot. but do you know what bothers me? that the white one is completely outa line, meaning, it split a line just vertically, so now you could not draw an unbroken line along the edges. damn, it's hard to explain. do you get what i mean? i would have put the lower pencils a bit to the right, because apart from its many emotional or intellectual interpretations this is basically also a geometrical shot, right? of course this also limits the logical interpretations of the shot, as it would not be possible for the white pencil to fit in. well i might be talking gibberish, but i had to explain myself on this one, especially since it is faved that much

Amazing picture, the precision of the pencils' shift is perfect. You did very well with the DOF centered on the white pencil, but I almost would have suggested shifting your focus balance to the left side of the frame, because it looks like the shaft of the white pencil is more in focus than the tip is, and the tip is where your eye is automatically drawn with this piece.

wonderful colour and composition, i competely agree with u, i think this should not be addressed to racism. i think the white colour that makes the concept works bcoz it's so conspicous. i think world seems to getting worse so people' minds are full with negative perception.
