Echoes of Thackery via Barry Lyndon? The candllight evokes that movie. This creates an certain irony since Kubrick bought a special satellite lens from NASA to do the candelit shots... But we have veered way far off course.
I like this shot very much. I wonder whether you considered trying to fool us into thinking that all the light came from the candle. While I expect that the shot would be impossible to execute if this were actually the case, I find the artificial light with its stronger white and colder spectrum to break the magic spell set by the candle, pen, and paper. I like the fact that we see the pen, but the lone bit of finger seems cut at an awkward place.
This is a good shot and its good to see it finished well. |

| If only Thomas Jefferson had such colorful ink! ;-) Nicely done - the candle flame is a little unecessarily distracting though. |

| A very nice image but I would have used a more rustic candle holder because guilding requires sophisticated procedures not associated with low-tech. Yet, this image has a nice feel and a nice glow. 6 |

| I don't think Jane Austen used quite that color ink! I like the idea, but I'm not sure I like the composition. There's something weird about the candle, too. |

| With all the things going for this shot my only complaint is that the pen is plastic instead of the old fashion quill, or better yet, a feather quill! I feel either of those would have dotted the "i" and fit the theme to a '"t"! Still, nicely done. BOL |

| I would have liked to see this with an older pen and black ink. |

| Very good composition..perhaps a feather pen would have made the the shot more low tech.. |

| Wonderful ! The writting goes well with the theme. GREAT composition. I would love to see this is a sepia tone. |
