I painted my clear acrylic pen stand flat black and replaced the glossy black granite tile I was placing my pens on with black velvet to match the background. My goal was to eliminate all distracting elements in my photos leaving only the pen. Below are two photos comparing old and new setup. Comments?

More photos of this pen can be seen in my 7/18 post.

I like the pen.

I'm not a fan of black backgrounds for pen photography, no matter what pen is the subject. I think it detracts from the details. I'm not a fan of stark white backgrounds, either. I like soft and subtle colors and no pattern or props.
