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

GREAT concept!somehow it looks to me as if it's got something to do with discrimination...you see,only WHITE is allowed to be out of the row...hope you can get my point of view!

I can't see the gold so it was a very good editing job. i love the contrast in this with the white pencil.

Interesting you took the white out from the others... it's that one you never know what to do with unless you do it on black paper...

this picture immediately drew my attention when i saw it as a thumb. it's such a simple shot but such a great concept. i think the focus is perfect for making the white pencil the subject. nice shot.

i chose to do a full view on this image, and attempted to spot the glare from the golden writing on the pencils that you mentioned was faintly there, and i can't see it. i think you've done an excellent job, the photo is very well balanced with the colour and shades. you've taken something simple, and dull, and turned it into fascinating and captivating. well done.--- don't under-estimate your talent, you're quite good. =]
