Hmmmm.... Lighting goooood, composition goood. overall impact blaaaaank.

This seems to be lacking something but I'm not sure what:scratch Maybe a good connection to the theme? Sorry to have to say that :bow

I prefer the guitar theme. Cheers/Peter

Neat Nik! I love the way the pencils are set up and the shadow they cast. I have two problems with it though. First, the background is really blahhh and detracts rather than enhances the impact for me. Fix that and this is a photo I could almost love. :lust

But, for the challenge, I am asking myself whether this is angles or curves. I get a curvy feeling from it but the angles are quite emphatic too. This duality might be a problem for the judges. On balance I like the guitar idea better for LPS#6.

curvey model...this is a cool shot but not a contender yet. Just being honest :lust

Thank you guys!
I do appreciate your honest feedback! :lust

I like it alot including the background, but not sure it would fare well in contest. I think the effect of the processing would come down to personal taste for the judges, so its hard to say. I do think it would look kool hanging on the wall though.:thumb

Thanks!
I agree that it's probably gonna be too much of a hit or miss.
Need to work on something more solid. Luckily, I have a couple more ideas (plus "the human forms" entry is still an option:-).
Cheers! :1drink

I think you need to revisit Spanish Guitar idea you had for LPS #4. :wink

Tessa,
let him know that the 30x40 canvas print can be ordered then (and you can get him lps/dgrin discount, so you score on this, too) :wink :rofl

I actually had to go onto the internet to look up what a Ticonderoga was:scratch When I found out, I kicked myself when I saw it was written on the pencils:rofl
