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.

but yeah dont worry about the golden letters because my eyes were immediately drawn to the protruding pencil . . .obviously
i really like the underlying meaning to this and its a great way to promote intellectual thought

amazing shot! i didn't even think about it promoting racism till i read your comment, i was thinking it could simplifiy something more along the lines of simplicity or something like that. But yeah, wonderful perspective and composition, great angles and everything. Good work!

this shot is really good
i think it's amusing how people take this offensively when it just happens to be that white is a very neutral color and is the perfect color to stand out in such dynamic colors. great job on that, btw

I love the concept! It's simple, but I really love the execution. This really makes me want to break out the colored pencils and start drawing like I used to when I was a wee lass. ^_- Nice work!

shots like this always amaze me, I know that something that make look quite simple is actually difficult to achieve. What I love about this shot in particular is how the white pencils cuts across the diagonal in the composition and gives the image dynamism.

"Racist" definitely does /not/ come to mind.
Whoever thinks it's racist is just looking for something to take offense over. :/
Nice picture.

I didn't take this as being racist, I took it more as "be different" and don't follow the crowd. But anywho --- amazing shot, bravo!

Poor white isn't a color, it kind of gives the picture a feeling too.
Nice :]
