On the first 15 pictures I see, I'm looking for a full 30 seconds and leaving a comment...I think it was a creative attempt, but in the end the picture fails to capture us. The blue tones of the sky give us a nice impression of dawn, but the rest of the picture is too murky and muddy. The flashlight also could have been pointed at the 10 since that is the "subject". Although I'm giving this a 4, I encourage your creative approach.

I think this could have been really effective had you worked with brightness and contrast, and perhaps applied a black and white or sepia filter. As it is, it is kind of flat. I'd make sure the subject isn't centered, and possibly shoot it from a slightly different angle. Hope you find this helpful. ;~D

The sky reflected in the drop really stands out in this image!

Good subject matter, I'm not so sure of the composition though

The concept is good but the image is lacking sharp focus where the eye is directed to look (at the cross point). If you decide to reshoot this image, you may want to try showing the tip of the feather with ink stains to help drive your title home.

Love the black background and the simplicity of your subjects.

If the focus was sharper, this would be very good. 6.

I think a different, non-translucent pen would better serve your purposes.

I am sure you would disagree or you wouldn't have entered the photo in this challenge, but IMO DNMC.
