Being different

Thanks Craig. I specifically took this shot for the contest….I am glad it worked :)

It worked well Momlee. An original idea. Well shot too

This is outstanding. The detail and contrast are fabulous! I totally get your piece and applaud it. What’s great is that it would be wonderful for a kid’s room. A helpful reminder of what you want for your children. That they stand out from the crowd, be unique – have their own personal sense of self.

Excellent piece!

Thanks Sharon and Kara for your kind words. Kara: I couldn’t agree more. It often takes a lot of courage to stand out and be different, doesn’t it?

Love this work

It reminds me quote given by Swami Vivekanand: “People Laugh because i am different, but i laugh because they r all the same” this is called attitude. Nice work.

Beautiful quote Sabby and so very powerful. I should start using that with my photograph I think :)

Thanks Charris….

i like this alot great work

I love this. It has so much depth to it. Nice work

fantastic shot! you have some great work in your portfolio :]
macro lens with this shot?

Yes I did use a macro lens on this shot…infact on most of my shots :)

again I love what you have done with DOF. Red is always speping out of line. lol

Thanks guys :). I love this shot too…took me ten takes to get that 3-D look going :)

wow, just came across this picture and it was abrupt. caught my attention immediately . great image.

This is beautiful! I can almost smell the wood in the pencils.

I LOVE this idea, and it’s executed perfectly…straight to the favs!

This just sucked me right in Momlee! Fantastic idea, well executed.

Thanks Jon, Angela and Stewart. Appreciate your thoughts….

great visual metaphor… speaks for the artist in us all

A great concept and so very well executed.

Superb !

omg I love this photo! Great work!

outstnading color and use of narrow DOF

wow, great job her, momlee!

Great interpretation of the theme – the choice of arrangement of colours works very well, too!

this is just great….......... it stands out!!! so to speak!!!! :)

superb and very clever, like it!

Being different and being good! paul

creative, colorfull, well done.

really love this image…. the DoF is spot on (as is the foccusing).... it does captrue the sense of being different and breaking-out….

This is an absolutely fabulous shot, well executed, a prise winner i feel!

This is so good! Nice work…

Just brilliant!

wow!!!!!!! what can i say.

Cool shot and great depth of field. Very nicely done!

love this.

Thanks all!

great shot, and its always nice to know whats behind the work

very nice

haha. in a way it reminds me of all those black and white shots where the red is the only color. Just in that you chose red to stand out, but the rest is still in color. I really like it. great dof, and perspective on it.

This is great. I feel like I can reach out and feel the tip of that red pencil. I love your choice for depth of field. All the back ends of the other colored pencils are like eyes looking on at the lucky red one.

Original and sharp close-up,well done!

So simple and effective, as previously said, thanks for explaining your thought process, it adds to the final result.. excellent shot

Excellent macro!

awesome concept : )

nice picture and wonderful concept! the title goes well

Yay someone else who has a thing for taking photos of pencil :)
Wish i had thought of that!
