nice concept. good work....Best of luck!

Nice colors and composition, but there doesn't seem to be any connection between the pens and the papers. Just kind of put there to meet the theme.

I have to agree with kyricom.........the pens look like they were an afterthought.

No connection? It depends on your imagination. You can sit down to write something and suddenly remember the paper boats someone made for you when you were a kid. And suddenly you wonder if you still know how to make paper boats and start making them.
And finally you remember you're an adult and that you must stop playing games and use pen and paper for their proper use.
This is what I meant to say in this shot.
By the way, believe me, it does good sometimes to get back to your childhood and play games...

Ok... I did not see anything in the rules that says there should be a connection... did I misread?

No, mperri, there's no such rule. There are other shots in the same situation. But in any case, don't worry about voting my shot: I had so much fun in preparing the scene, making the paper boats and taking the picture that I have already been highly rewarded. I awarded myself a special mention...

Author... I only read the comments after voting! My vote was already cast and I liked it! I was actually questioning the criticism!!!

original idea. GL

Like the cartoon.

the background colour overwhelms the flame I think

Nice
