It is a shot in the dark alright

Go to the photography forum here and try to pick up some suggestions. Your photos are way too dark to appreciate your work. If that is a white background you are using then you see what we are talking about. Work on the photos more before showing more pens.

Harold,

The cocobolo paired with turqoise acrylic is amazing. Great group of pens!

Holly cow! For casing pens those look so good! I think they all turned out great! You did very good on the coating of the first ones. The pairing with the others is great too. Never knew a casing pen could look so classy.

I like the upper portion of your pens, however, I'm not a big fan of using a pen nib with the shell casings. I personally think the real bullet looks better and would really finalize those pens. If you need black bullets, let me know, I still have plenty left over from my ballistic rounds, didnt care for the look, however, may look good with that black casing. anyway, just my opinion, otherwise, great job on the segmenting.
