a flack of pencils

I wanted to see if I could develop the colour pencil theme just a little. We now know (thanks to @fannyb ) that a group of pencils is a "flack". What would a "flack" look like, I thought?

Definitely more "flack-like" than the last picture! Very symmetrical - I'm impressed!

Very clever shot, you have more patient than me, building your ' flack'.

A flack would look just like that! Great colours, lovely shallow dof, bonus shadows. Really creative - for a time-poor photographer ;-). It's a definite fav!

Brilliant shadows and colours - well deserved PP :)

Awesome idea!! I looked at it and thought... why didn't I think of something like this! My brain just does not seem to process this way lol. Great shot and DOF. I learnt something new... flack of pencils!

Terrific shot!
posted June 24th, 2012  
@peadar - you are very modest Peter or maybe I'm just attention seeking! I was on cloud 9 for a few days after my PP, especially as I had been a bit lacking in inspiration and confidence leading up to it!
posted June 24th, 2012  
So this is your photo I see on PP ? Well done. I like your creative approach.

@bardejov Thank you, Bardejov, I appreciate your support!

@jackie8 Jackie, yes it has been exciting, one thing I hadn't thought about was the pressure afterwards to always post a photo that could get to PP ??!!!
