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 that is a great shot. It's so appealing due to all the different colors, and the way the white colored pencil is sticking out ... truely fabulous!

This picture is awesome. It sort of applies a message of nonconformity, first how the pencil is plain white within an array of rainbow colors, and secondly how it sticks out and is turned so that the viewer sees the point, instead of the end. My only critique is that towards the top, like you said, you can kind of tell where the crayola marks were, but that's nothing major and doesn't detract from the picture at all. Beautiful shot!

Nice shot, it was very clever to have the white one standing out from the rest, good concept.

i really like this photo. Nice step line. Infact the rainbow pattern effect is cool too. Pity you couldnt just turn the logo to face down and backwards out of your photo - would have saved all the editing hours. Nice use of one pencil different just off center too (cos allthough 7 pencils top and bottom also some empty space bottom) i like this!

thetopcrusader In reply to ArtlessHmmmm [2006-07-27 15:30:08 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I did do that, but somehow there was one or two wayward pencils that rolled (or maybe I wasn't just looking carefully enough ) Thanks!!
