a little too centered, would have liked to see a little more paper toward the top. Other than that, excellent. Great detail on the fingers.

Oh, I just love calligraphy!!! It is only slightly off the subject of the challenge though. Alas.

Nice in B&W.

It would have gotten higher marks from me if the pen didn't blend in with the background.

The tip of the pen is tack sharp and well positioned. The hand appears to have ink on it, which doesn't translate to the paper itself. I would expect to see smudging on the paper since he is resting his hand on top of ink that transferred to his hand.

Lighting could be improved. Too contrasty for my tastes.

The black of the pen blends in well with the background. You might get some flames thrown your way because of that, but I kind of like it. 9

The lighting and angle seem to work against this image.

Nice mooody use of light and dark. Well framed, too; though I would have experimented with having the paper at a bit more of an angle.

I love that you opted to shoot this in black and white.
It adds character that I think would have been lost in color.
Gives the feel of age.
Beautiful use of lighting and focus as well.

i like the grittiness of it. the high contrast b&w makes it all the better!

Wonderful focus, the highlight on the thumbnail keeps attracting my eye though... 7
