This is so creative, so simple and so effective - FAV!

[Lisa Targowska]

Well done making this work, very original!

[Adam]

This really is cool. Nice composition. Was this shot in RAW mode Sally? The exposure seems a little underexposed? Might just be my screen.

[Chris Stapleton]

Interesting idea well executed

[Shepherdman]

Original shot. Good job you didn't sneeze during the photo session.

[Leon Buijs]

Lovely shot, how many times did they all tumble down?

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Neat shot fav!

[Sue Wilde]

Absolutely fantastic

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Brilliant

[Tricia Kano]

[Taffy]

[Jo Ann Bellone]

cool

[Sally Ings]

@adambralston I do shoot in RAW. This has been edited to hell and back. My background was a supposed to be a soft pink but it looked just awful so it had to go!

[Sally Ings]

@leonbuys83 I had one collapse but then I changed the surface and had no further problems!

[Paul Jackson]

I love the idea and composition but think if there had been more light put onto the background all the wrinkles etc would disappear, not always possible though.

[Eric di Bosco]

This picture shows exactly why I haunt the streets and stalk people: I have no imagination to come up with things like these!

[Netkonnexion]

Now that is different to the majority of pencil shots. Nice idea. Cool.

[Leana Niemand]

Very cool shot, great colours display.

[Therese]

Awesome shot... beautiful composition!

[Al Bailey]

Lovely creative shot :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's a fun effect!

[Gena Pegg]

Fab composition and color. How you did that I don't know!!! Wonderful.!

[Sally Ings]

@eyesmile Gena, you just stack the pencils in a 'v' shape, with points overlapping. I used a long shutter speed instead of adding artificial light.

[Sally Ings]

@unit8 Paul, I never thought to add any artificial light behind the pencils. The background is a sheet of tissue paper in a soft pink colour. I increased my shutter speed to get a better exposure. I tried the on camera flash but didn't like the result. I may experiment with your idea over the weekend.

[Sally Ings]

@ericdibosco Lol, I rather trawl the internet looking for inspiration than go out and attempt any form of street photography! The thought alone hives me the heebie jeebies :-)

[Hope D Jennings]

Super creative! Love the colors and angles

[Anita Russell]

Simple yet clever idea

[Margo]

Exceptionally clever

[Shanne]

very clever - nicely done

[Chris]

What a patience - I thought you glued them together :-). You created a beautiful structure - very eye-catching.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Nicely done.

[Susan Golding]

Very cleverly done!

[Dave Taylor]

How many times did they fall down before you got the picture? Very creative.
