what you can see there are my computers keyboard
and a 60 years old fountain pen(on wich there is some sort of corosion).As you can see the shadows from the pen are going straight in the direction of the keyboard symbolizing the unevitable evolution.

Looks too green

I don't really like the colour tones here, somewhat it reminds me to a failed WB setup, or, if it was the purpose, it dowsn't really give me the Matrix feeling. I would change your composition as well, for example a diagonal one with the keyboard, which divides your photo to two equal parts, one for old and one for new. I would choose a lower angle as well, approaching from the side of the pen. The idea is nice but could be implemented with a higher quality.

is the yellowish tint on purpose? If so, I don't quite see it.

At first I thought you should show more of the keyboard, but then I realized that you knew what you were doing. :) (The keyboard would have dominated the pen if more of it was shown). I suppose there could be a hidden (or intentional?) meaning in choosing to show only the "ctrl" key--contrasting the modern "control" or rigidity vs. the "messiness" of prior times. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it...

great idea, too much white space for my taste. The green cast I don't like - but maybe you were going for that. nice creative though, I really like the idea

The shot is all great, but the color is off... it's very yellow.

So you're saying that fountain pen users have a lack of 'ctrl' over the ink? I think using a keyboard of a different color than the background would make it more distinguishable. Otherwise, good picture.

Would have been great with the white balance adjusted.
