Normally I don't prompt people to view large, but in this case I'll make an exception because it should lighten the reflections. Hope so anyway.

love the reflections on the glossy black.

This is amazing! Love the reflection and colors. And wonderful POV. What did you use for that glossy black surface?
posted January 3rd, 2013  
That is cool! I really like the way the colors jump off the page. Well done and a fav for me!

Wonderful fav! And view large is the way to go.

How did you train those pencils to stand up? Mine are so lazy -- they just lie around refusing to do a thing. They won't even draw a decent picture.

Thanks everyone. :-)

@david68 Yes, saw it on the home page just now. Congratulations!
@gladysmg It's black card with a piece of clear acrylic sheet over the top - that gives a gap between the pencils and their reflections. It's a variation on the glossy black perspex which @cornefunproject uses from time to time. One of my favourites:

@catwoman2 They're not very well trained at all! Inventive curses and imprecations didn't help much, but made me feel better.

Well, thank you everybody, the response to this photo has taken me quite by surprise. I still have no idea how the PP works, but this response has gone way beyond anything I've had before, so once again, many thanks.

viewed enlarged the detail is brilliant! The exposure is spot on! :)
posted January 5th, 2013  
@ltodd Thank you Lyn, the detail is very gratifying for a compact camera.
posted January 5th, 2013  
@automaticslim Wow - I did not notice it was from a compact. Nice focal depth & sharp! A good ad for the camera indeed!
posted January 5th, 2013  
Love it!! You are pretty talented at balancing, too, I see!

oo very cool you've composed and lit this perfectly.
posted January 6th, 2013  
simply stunning!
posted January 6th, 2013  
Thanks for all the kind comments!

@raineyday Haha! It took me quite a while to get all my pencils in a row, I can assure you!

@ltodd On paper it doesn't sound too impressive actually, but the sensor does seem to be outstanding for its size.
