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.

That was the idea...the one in the middle is supposed to be more focused and as your eyes move away from it, everything gradually blurs...

This is really ingenious... the horizontal lines you've created, as well as the superb bg & white balancing is just excellent
Great idea & excellent execution...

Another picture somewhere on here, called "Crayons." The idea was for all the pencils to face one way except for one that would stand out - white was the natural choice since it didn't have any color.

Stunning shot, very creative. I love the combination of shape and colour. Either one alone would have been cool, ie the staggering or the rainbow, but you've captured both together to make a great shot. An instant fav.

this is a great example of graphic simplicity...minimalism at its best! i love the rainbow of color, again, a simple thing, but really powerful. and the fact that you stuck the white one in the middle like that is really awesome. very cool!

oo cool
strikes me as conceptual (some kinda go against the flow type thing)

I like the concept. Less really IS more. Could be a little sharper but I wonΒ΄t complain because how hard it is to even get decent fotos. And this is more that decent. Keep up the good work

I don't know if I've commented on this before. I remember seeing it a couple of times... but anyway, this is a fantastic shot. Not only is the idea a great one but the execution was fabulous. Wonderfully done.
