Thanks all for your comments. They will help me in future shots. I am finding out each challenge that each detail needs equal attention every shot: cropping, background, edge content, overall tone, etc. I am starting a checklist, lol.

LOL! Well done!

Good composition, but I feel it should be a more "bright and shiny" picture--perhaps more front (top) lighting.

very cool concept...I only wish the background was lighter so that it would give the pens more definition

I have a tin full of old pens. Love this. Different idea. Good focus, good color of background to compliment the different shades of nibs. Great job. 8 PTL

Nice nibs... Good lighting and exposure. I like the presntation. And they asked what you would ever do with all those pens....

Well done in getting all the nips in focus, a more contrasing background may have been better

The composition of this is both intriguing and powerful. For some reason, it has a very "tense" feel to me. Great work. karmat

Neat collection. Justine
 11/11/2002 11:20:00 AM
wow, what a great idea ... the thumbnail immediately caught my eye!
challenge -- met
technical -- very well done. maybe just a tad too dark. the cropped off tips at the left are not quite straight, that give the whole shot a slightly tilted look. i also feel that the background color is a little too close to the silver tones of many of the tips. maybe just a little lighter, but not quite white?
composition -- great idea. the arrangement works really well.

great negative spaces! Very graphic, like it a lot - why did you pick grey for the background colour ?
