Nice composition. Perfect choise for light and angle to take the photo. The highlight along the top weave of metal makes the shot for me. I gave it an 8.

Interesting. I like it. Desaturated a bit? I suppose? or b/w?

just not grabbing me, maybe the angle, try more like 1/3rd down on left hand side, light is not from 1 direction, 1 small light would show detail / texture better, might get good reflections too.5

I would rather have seen the tip of the pen in focus blurring towards the back. Just a personal thing....maybe?

I like the idea, and the focus is good. 8

I love the clarity, the highlights and shadows, and the sleekness and shinniness of this simple compositon. VERY effective. 7

Very clear and graphic. It might be cool on a black background too. Nice detail. I gave this an 8.

Nice. Like the way you controlled the glared of this shiny pen. Would have been better if tip of pen would be in focus because the perspective in this shot draw the viewer eye on the pen tip, which is the less focussed part. Good overall

With a greater DOF you realy would have had an awsom shot. The point of the pin not being in focus does not realy work for me. Still worth a 6
