Crisp focus on the entire product, good. Nicely designed framing, good. Pretty significantly overhsharpened, not so good.

It might have been more effective if you wrote that copy on the paper in flowy (but readable) script, showing the output of the product and adding a bit more flair to the composition. It is rather static and dull, as it is.

The most extraordinary feat, for me, in taking the photo was managing to have one of the bubbles NOT 'pop' when I stuck the scissor end into it. Used up half a bottle of washing up liquid in my effort!
It was fun to do.
Some very nice comments and interesting thoughts expressed. Thank you. My 4th submission and an improvement in my scores. Not worried about scores overall, but very much enjoying the challenges and the inspiration gained by viewing the creativity of other submissions to the site.

Great clear shot. The only think I dont like is the texture of the background, it kinda looks like noise, although im pretty sure its just the texture?

Why not in Color?

I think this is a perfect shot marred only by unbearable graininess. The textured background should offset the sleek, smooth pens, but they are so grainy that they don't stand out as is. Not sure if this was to do with post processing or not, but try to reprocess it if so. I love the pose, the simplicity, everything else, just the graininess bothers me.

Aha a fountain pen. We collect fountain pens but don't have any stypens yet. This is a nice picture of the two pens, well presented. I think the black and white works because it connects these modern pens to the pens of the past.
