| Should have been sharp to really get more points. Good idea though. |

| Better focus and sharper contrast could improve the shot. Nice concept. 5 - MarkRob |

| This is a neat effect, and works well with the white background of dpc, but i think the pen needs to be a little sharper (just my personal taste). I think the pen sharply focused with high contrast would have a neat effect. karmat |

| I give you a 10 for concept, a 7.5 for creating nice contrast (I would try to find a way to make your blacks blacker) and a 2 for focus. |

| This one doesn't appeal to me that much. It kinda is too washed out for my taste. 5 |

| Great idea. Focus is the only problem I have with it, and I can't tell if you planned soft focus. 9 |

| I really wish that pen was just a bit more in focus. |

| Nice idea but the focus on the pen lets it down. Nice contrast and light with a good concept. 7 - floyd |

| Being a writer/ artist this hits me on a personal level. I love the feel of a fresh piece of paper and an excellent writing utensil (I can tell that is a Uniball fine point, right?). |

| Cool shot. The shadow makes it! The pen appears to be a little blurred, which to me adds to the artsy-ness of the picture. |

| Nice image, though a bit soft. If after a grainy appearance, you might try bumping up the ISO to 400 or higher (if your camera supports it) and use a neutral density filter to keep the exposure within the camera's capabilities. |

| You met the challenge. I would have liked it better if the pen was in sharp focus but it works this way. |

| I understand that the lack of focus is probably a design element, but it doesn't work for me. Which is a shame because my instinct tells me I would have scored it an 8 had the focus been sharp. 6 Jak. |

Great work I like the soft focus - and yet it still has a lot of detail. Yes, the Neg Space makes a difference and adds to the subject and the effect of the photo. The Neg Space REALLY draws your attention right to the pen. Technically great work. Great composition. The placement here is perfect - as not being all the way in the corner (although, As I look at this, I wonder, does the person writing with this pen hold it at the end of the pen? -just a thought I had) So, it's great, makes a person think. Great Work 10

| Good creative idea. I don't think the 'blur' adds to this shot at all, would of liked to see that left off. Still it's right on target for the challenge. Nice job. Scroe 6 Justine |

| i think the soft focus was used intentionally......... it certianly makes the image more interesting. |

| This is really a great idea and the composition is also great... My mind is begging for stronger focus on this pen, but somehow the softness of it still is quite gripping in some strange way... good work :) = 8 - jmsetzler |

| This is one of the best uses if neg. space I have seen here. The white background is appropriate (and hence makes the photo work well). Perhpaps the pen is a little too out of fcus for my liking, was the focus intentional? I like the shadow. Scores highly for use of neg. space, loses a little because of focus. Excellent work overall! |
