Joe,
The pic is certainly better! It's still a little out of focus; try the Macro setting, and try using a timer to avoid you inducing shaking by pushing down on the camera. Also, if you're not using one, get a tripod. I have a cheap little portable thing that is only about 6" high (cost a whopping $5), but it does a great job for these pictures. These tips should greatly improve the clarity. Next, try cropping the picture, so there isn't as much background.
Oh, the pen looks pretty good, too!

I picked up a nice tripod at a garage sale for about $10 so keep your eyes open at pllaces like that too. Nice looking blank and F&F look good.

Nice pen, I also hold a white sheet of paper over the subject to whiten the reflections on silver and soften the darks on gold.

You have good color going here. follow the suggestions about focus,(Macro Mode) and a tripod. this picture looks out of focus and not camera shake though.
not only use a sheet of paper between the lght and the pen. but try to get more light reflected at the shadow of the pen. you want a soft shadow. The light issues are easier to figure out than the color ones, so you have the worst licked.
Oh Yea ditto the crop the picture. make the pen fill the picture as much as possible. sizing it to be 600 pixels wide makes it show up in the post at a real nice size as well.
