| author: Eric |
| judges comments: Good composition and tells a story " Pencil has been sharpened and is ready for Sudoku " Like the shavings. |
| 2nd prize |

| judges comments: #8 and #9 These pictures show a very similar approach but with one difference - the background. #9 has a very nice plain background. The pencils stand out nicely but they are "only" a pattern without a focal point.One could have turned one pencil around to show the tip. The pencils of #8 are also a pattern but the background showing a page of a coloring in book adds to the message: "Ready to start coloring in". Very nice! |

| judges comments: Pleasing picture, good composition. I like that the "artist" is still busy coloring in |
| and following, the other pictures, no comments available |

| judges comments: Like the plain background but it should have been extended to the horizontal surface. Take a sheet or cloth, put it on the horizontal surface and bend it up keeping a radius, which will give you the same color background for the whole picture and you don't have a horizontal line running through the picture ( called "infinity curve") |

| judges comments: Good picture and composition but lacks impact. Maybe the invitation should have been filled in. Why two pens? |
|
| author: Judith |
| judges comments: Good composition but too much information to look at in the background - rather busy. |
|
| author: Horst |
| judges comments: Funny picture. Composition could be better. As far as the background is concerned refer #2 |
|
| author: Jörg |
| judges comments: I like it. Looks very much like graphic art. A horizontal flip of the pen would balance the picture better. As is it is very "heavy" (black) on the left. For a more interesting story I would have added the ink jar and changed the composition. |

| judges comments: see #8 |

| author: Rosario |
| judges comments: A very good idea. Crop top and bottom so that only a white background is left. The rubber should be at the bottom left which would give you a nice triangular composition. |
|
| author: Oliver |
| judges comments: Where are the pens? As is there are too many tools. One hammer and one or two chisels composed in a different way would have been better. |
|
| author: Frans |
| judges comments: A bit of fun but what does the "padda" want to do with the pens? |
|
| author: Michael |
| judges comments: I like the picture. It has good composition and it tells a story. It is nice that one can see that the sketch was drawn on a spiral bound block, indicating that is was not purchased. I also like that the cap of the one pen has not been put back. I don't like the very dark table surface at the top and right. A lighter color would be nicer. |
