I think the composition is great. My only suggestion for this specific pen would be a lighter background (doesn't have to be white) so the edges stand out better.

Looks good. When I first saw the photo, I was looking for glare off the pen. I agree as a lighter background would be better. I use a tan cloth for my photo shots. Here is my setup.
What's the light setup? Can you change tones?

Nice pen. I don't have photography advice, I am terrible at it.

Clamp on lights from Harbor Freight, curly Q bulbs, thin cloth diffusers made by my wife. They clamp on overhead cabinets so I can position them on the bottom frame or the doors for best effect. No way to change tones. I also have grey or brown cloth if needed for the background.

I built a Light Box frame and have 3 clamp on lights. I need to get better light bulbs to use in the clamp on fixtures. I will have my wife buy different materials to use for backgrounds, etc.

I long ago went to Joannes (RIP) and got about 12 different colors of background material in solid colors and a few in subdued patterns. I just pick the color that provides the best contrast.
Yeah wife and I took a trip to Hobby Lobby. They had all sorts of fabrics with different textures.
