This is something I was considering for the challenge - I even took my fountain pen out of the box in the closet, to discover I was out of ink. I like that the focus is softer toward the top. It's much better than the one I imagined taking myself :)

NIce simple picture. It could have been cooler if you could have captured the pen while its writing.

Just a touch of colour somewhere would add to this image I think. Even a reflection of a little colour in the pen nib.

stunning shot - excellent execution. Good luck! (I'm giving it an "8", but I must say that it is distracting that there is no ink coming out of the pen where it is positioned).

This picture has a lot of contrast. The close up of the tip of the pen.

Oh, I get it! It's kind of like an old fashioned form of text messaging! Way retro cool!

love the POV and the idea - in these days of computer and internet, this is a great way of picturing the old way.

Good hand writing and nice shot

Lovely simple interpretation and nice execution. If I'm being nitpicky I'd suggest that the handwriting itself could be a bit more 'olde world' and perhaps elaborate to enhance the old ways feel a bit.
