For my son's 4th birthday (tomorrow) we colored a few paper bags and filled them with a bunch of goodies. I guess I was dazzled by the colors.

When I first saw it, the crayons got me to think of small children and the start of the school year. The real story behind the shot is better.

Colors are good but I found the cup holding them to be a distraction because of its color. I added a crop suggestion.

After Liz's suggestion I did crop the picture. I liked it better and so this is the cropped version. Liz, thank you for that feedback. I also thank you all for your kind commets.

Great shot - the colors are so wonderful - and happy birthday to your son.
plagueoftruth (82 months ago | reply)
the depth of field is perfect. I love that the crayons in the back are out of focus with the ones in the front crisp and clear.
Very good.

Hi everyone! This being on Explore really means a lot. I had spent a wonderful afternoon with my son drawing the birthday bags and it just will be one of those special moments in my memory. With this photo it is documented.
Leen, I've been great. Busy preparing the birthday party for today!! Thanks for your comments and the wishes.
Air, Yeah my son and I used those up ... actually he put those into the container saying we have to show that we used some of these crayons!! LOL!
I really appreciate your commenst and the wishes. You all really rock!
