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

Very interesting. . . . I like it though. It's simple, but effective, not to mention it could hold a deep meaning dealing with a racial theme. Don't think you were going for anything along those lines though.

This is going to sound bad. I really like this photo, but becareful people don't read into it as something else. I'll give you a hint. "Why is the only sharpend pencil white and why does it stand from the rest of the colors?"
I'm obviously white and I KNOW you didn't mean for someone to read into it. I would not be offended if you hid my comment, I just thought you should know.

Very interesting. I like the order you put them in you must have spent quite alot of time on this.

Thanks It didn't take too long, but it did take quite a few attempts...(pencils rolling away, not-very-straight pictures, bad focus, etc.
)

Really cool. It must have been difficult to get everything lined up so perfectly. Really great idea as well as great execution.

That's really a cool idea! Especially that it is the white pencil (thus the center) which destructs the order. Very well done

*sigh* Whitey gets ahead yet again.
Just kidding, it's a lovely fun shot.. All political connotations are strictly within the eyes of the viewer

Excellent rendition of a concept been done before
The simplicity is striking!
Yes however *greenandyellow has got a point. It looks like you missed the focussing by a couple of millimeters!! At this close distance, that really does make a huge difference....
It's funny how me and *greenandyellow have similar names hahaha . My name's based on my flag's colours...
Great shot all the same!
