I like the composition and idea.

I think you used narrow DOF to focus on the letter, but the pen is distracting me. I think if it had been in focus, it wouldn't do that. Go figger.

As for the paper itself, it's not quite bright enough. I get the impression of someone writing this in a very dim room.

Great photo - but it would have had even more impact if the words were actually written in handwriting instead of being a printed card..or was it?

Actually, this shows a beautiful piece of stationery, that is undoubtedly tied to an unfortunate event. the photo itself isn't the clearest, but it clearly conveys a message.

Wondering if the image would have been improved by also having the pen in focus?

Would have liked to see more balanced framing on this with less of the table above, and some showing below.

nice idea, but needs more. casket in the background, etc. to make it really click.

I would have liked to see the tip of the pen in focus with the paper. The composition is well thought out and overall, this is a very nice image.

Nicely done, the pen set up the way you did is an added touch that adds to the interest.

An increased DOF where the pen is in focus would be better. Nice idea.

I like the idea in this photo. I think the pen should be sharper, and the paper should be aligned better. The pen to me is a major element of the photo--but it's a bit frustrating to have it so out of focus in the shot.
