Nice contrast of textures, smooth metal and rough wood.

what an unusual pipe. Wish we could see further down. Larger DOF would bring it all into focus. There are some nice textures in this subject - a bit more lighting from the side and behind would bring that out more - then it might make a good b&w - try it out

lovely use of colors, they work very well together. I really really wish there wasn't so much grain, its throwing off the aesthetic value of this photo.

Beautiful pipe and holder, but there seesm to be a lot of noise in this image. The image is also quite dark. I would have liked to have been able to see more of the base.

Neat briar pipe and beautiful stand. I think the red with the gold is excellent.

The red background really plays well with the black pipe and gold holder. Unfortunately, the image is very grainy and could have benefitted from some despeckling. As far as the literalism is concerned, putting something in the bowl may have made a stronger imapct. Maybe a piece of paper with a visible title reading "recent poll" or something else that one would show while using the phrase. Then again, why ruin a classic shot of a beautiful pipe. ;)
