Jr Gent in classic turquoise and gold

[Ruby pen turning]

This is a new blank I have made that I call Classic turquoise and gold. I have darkened the turquoise a tad bit from its base color. The turquoise is an opaque with green and blue mica's added to give some shimmer and the gold is gold mica. The pen is a closed end Jr Gent. I am experimenting with camera and mirror. Let me know what you think.
Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

I love the blank. But personally, I don't like the mirror. It detracts from just showing off the pen. Your photos are very good to begin with. No need to change them IMO

Thanks James. I am undecided and still playing with the idea(not my own) of using the mirror. Judging by the comments or lack of, they must look like poopoo.

I am anti-mirror, but pro-blank. I like the top shot with the unturned blank. Looks great

I like the mirror look. To me it makes the pen look like it is in a showcase and is high quality.

Love that blank - That blank doesn't need a mirror - just sayin!

LOVE the blank. NICE. The pen is sweet, too. Looks like a copper kit. Excellent call.

Beautiful blank! The mirror provides an albility to see more of the blank than a normal photo. We can better judge the balance and distribution of color.
