I like this. There's something about the graceful softness of the book as the background and the smooth "elegance" of the pen. the composition almost has the feel of the beginnings of a fibonacci sequence. The lighting is quiet and peaceful. Good job!
Thanks for posting Rajesh. The image certainly meets your description.
Were it not for the title I think this would ask questions of the viewer and perhaps demand a longer viewing.
This is wonderfully subtle, with detail in the pen providing just enough information.
For my own taste I think I'd prefer a crop from the bottom right - this seem to balance better with my eye (as attached). That is not to diminish the image or the taste of others in any way - I enjoy it the way it is.
Welcome to the group discussions. I am hoping we will see and hear more from you, perhaps adding your own viewpoint to other ongoing discussions.
Thank you for those insightful critique. I like the crop. It seems to add more emphasis to the pen.. Regarding the title, I thought it would be better to communicate directly. Will keep your comments for future.
Funny, I thought that it was the upper right that could use the cropping. Also, having the pen at a slight angle will give it more depth by giving it a "leading line". Unless you purposely what to keep it more abstract and have the viewer question "what is that?"
I like it. Simple...yet intriguing. I like that you used black and white.
Did you shoot completely in B&W, edit all colors to B&W or adjust color(s) saturation to achieve B&W?
Thank you.. I shot this in monochrome, Slightly adjusted contrast in GIMP.

Thank you... May be placing the pen at an angle would have been better.
Sure!
