The concept isn't all that original, but the photo is done rather nicely... My only complaints are that the "I love you" are out of focus.. and that there's a large and distracting empty space that takes away from the impact of the photo.

I like this idea, the noise makes it also look like an old picture

i like the juxtaposition of the i love you and messiness of the pen, which to me implies love isn't always as beautiful and perfect as it may appear on a letter (though i'm not sure if that's what you were going for). well focussed and i feel the emotion, so well done!

i love how the focus is on the last three words, that's really lovely to me it seems a bit odd, however, how old and messy the pen is compared to the neatness of the writing. not a bad odd, just odd this is a really simple and sweet photo

Is that your handwriting ? It's so beautiful . B&W is a great choice , I love the ink on the pen looks quite old . Really tells a story .

Good luck

Aww, this is so sweet.
The penmanship is really amazing, even more so if it was written with that type of pen in the picture.
I like what's in focus and what's out of focus, very well done!

The detail on the pen is so crisp and clear! And, considering the concept, this black and white effect is perfect for this photo! I love the angle of the pen, and the perfect text in the background. The letter is touching, and the fancy old fashioned pen only adds to that sensation. Beautiful, tender photo!

Very lovely <3
I think if you had written this on your own it would have given it a much more personal touch, but legibility is very important so this looks fantastic.

I would kill to have good handwriting haha.

Aww! How sweet! I love the concept! Such beautiful handwriting, too... *is jealous* Instant

I don't know much about photography, but I agree with what said about the rule of thirds. I think that if the "i love you" and pen were closer to the bottom right, it would really perfect the composition.

Anyway, you did a great job! Keep up the good work!

mikhi [2011-01-26 09:16:08 +0000 UTC]

This one is also nicely done. I love the pen!! As for critique: take a look at the composition in terms of the rule of thirds. Since here the things (it seems to me) that you want in focus are the words "I love you" and the pen. In order to put those into more focus try to push them either towards the middle horizontal third or the bottom third. This way the eye is instinctively drawn to it. If you haven't heard of the rule of thirds before [link] is a good tutorial to take a look at Also the lighting on the pen is cool in a sense that it leaves two shadows. But for the more nostalgic look the script font gives, just one of the two shadows woudl've been better than both of them together. But overall, again, really nicely done

I like the way you did this, since this isn't the most original concept. you executed it greatly. The depth of field is great and I love the transition from out of focus to into focus very well done.

Calligraphy is such a challenge! I've been considering taking it up for a while now and just haven't gotten around to it
