Great negative space and the blown highlights actually add to the image. There appear to be some resizing issues, as I see some pixelation.

Love this idea and composition. I've got the same edge jaggies on mine, but what can you do? Have no idea what causes it as I don't particularly over-sharpen my images and I suspect (judging by the quality of work), neither do you. Still, my vote is 9 :)

Hmmm ... are those jagged lines effects or artifacts?

Nice idea nd nice shapes. The lighting/contrast/saturation is way too hot though.

This looks rally well set up, and quite well lit. There's a bit of blooming on the end of the pen that makes me a bit uncomfortable, and a weird red streak about half way up that is quite hard to see...

You also seem to have encountered a bit of problems with the 'jaggies'.

Doing multiple resizes might help prevent this... I do mine in 5% increments via an action if it's not been cropped, but if the ratio is a bit different, I double check the last few steps by hand...

Great rhythm and interesting composition too.

Nice composition but the blow outs are a problem.

Would be better without the redline in the middle.

An eye-catching shot. There's a lot of empty space here, but I think it works (now I just need to work out why it works, so that I can start introducing space more effectively into my own shots...)

Effective use of light, too. Did you have the pen suspended on fishing line?
