Nice subject, the sloping backgrund looks good but I don't feel the same way about the bottle... it just seems a bit off next to the level pen IMO.

Nice detail in the pen. I think this could have been more effective if the pen were lying next to, instead of on top of, the ink blots, which kind of blends in with the dark blue of the pen.

I like the idea and the pen is gorgeous. The semi-candid look is a nice touch. Just a touch more focus on the wet ink (or a touch more wet ink) would have helped in terms of challenge-meeting.

I think some ink in an inkwell next to the pen would be great.

Comment by KevinRiggs:
I think I would have liked a tighter shot on one of the ink blots with the brass nib penetrating the composition from one of the sides or corners. I find the fingerprints in the ink intriguing. Also the different saturations of the ink and the differences between the dark blots, the random arcs, the lighter spills and the drying ink might make a more powerful composition without the curls on the left side or the writing (the M and the word Love). I definitely like the subject matter. I just think I would have tightened the focus either the ink or the pens with a single blot. I'd like to see your whole series on this subject.

Creative idea, and nice composition. The colors seem just a little bland, but that does not detract too much.

I came to this photo because the thumbnail promised a lovely sense of confusion and mess. Upon seeing the full image, though, I feel that the planning is too evident, no-one would put lovely, old pens on ink blots deliberately. I was hoping to see the result of an accidental spill. The low mark I'm giving, therefore, probably reflects my own disappointment as much as anything else.

good idea. i think a different composition would be nice.. something cleaner.. with maybe some writing and one good "blot"... also only need one pen and shouldnt place it right in the middle.. maybe off to the side
