Tinted apex

You've done a fine job of forcing the Rule of Thirds off the beaten path and leaving it well intact. Yes, your aperture choice is very good. It would be nice to see one stop smaller just for comparison . . . Then we'd like this one even better, lol. Colors and strong metalic reproduction makes this image jump. Well, that and the repeated patterns and fanning lines from the point of the pen. Not only are ther lines fanning out from the point, but there are two kinds of circular patterns fanning out from it: the brushed lines in the metal and the larger circles of the pen's construction. Again, the blues, silver with reflecting light and overall exposure are excellent.

Maybe the next view won't think so much of this pic; but there's a "lot going on" here.

Regards
