This would have been even better if the pen had been turned a bit more sideways to show the writing tip in profile, or even from the top. The black underside is a bit bland.

ya Mossy b is right , it look better

I like the simplicity of this shot and agree a little gold would also be nice. I almost went out and purchasrd a fountain pen to photograph but then I remembered how many oxford shirt i ruined with a blue ink stain. Nice entry author

Needs a bit of a boost, try a curves adjustment to whiten the whites and bring out the colours.

Thanks

This photo is fairly dark, you need to increase the exposure more
