 Didn't have much inspiration for this one. My wife dreamed about this set up last night.

Shot with 2 strobes, one just inches away from the crystal pen holder, the other up a little and to the left. I like the play of light and the grain of the wood (our dining table)

Opened from RAW
in RAW converter, boosted contrast, shadows, red saturation. sharpen
cropped
reduce size
add border
save for web


Have no idea how this one will do.

Lovely! Nice concept. Gorgeous lighting, great use of only one color, and a strong one at that.

Creative and pleasant presentation of important idea related to the given subject. The elements of the photo are understatedly elegant and complementary to one another.

Nice effect of the lighting through the pen holder. I would like to see the out of focus portion of the pen holder in a different position, as my eye is drawn to it after reading the message.

Well done, solid idea. I don't care much for the double shadow on the pen but that is me trying to find something to give you feed back on. Good Luck 7
