Still messing with Bakelite

[OKLAHOMAN]

And also seeing how a black background works....So here is a Storm Bakelite on a full sized Emperor, all comments appreaciated on the pen and photo:

Looking good Roy! I like the pen.

Just a thought, you could probably reduce the canvas size in the photo, but other than that, your photos are great! Way better than mine.:biggrin:

Both look like art to me. Another beauty and I'm jealous of the photo skills.

Great looking Pen, It could use a cropping, and maybe lifted a little there is a really dark shadow under the pen which seems to hide the lower half of your pen.

Looks like clouds in the sky or the ocean. Very nice pen.

Truly a work of art. Beautiful pen.

I love the body. I can see the name "storm". Nicely Done..

Beautiful pen. I think that black doesn't work well because it shows all of the lint.

The kit is always been a top flight kit and that material just compliments it so well. No matter what color. As far as the photo, to me the pen has no definition or depth. It looks like a flat photo. It maybe because of the flat black background. When people use the glossy surfaceses such as black tiles, I think the subtle reflections you get with that background gives depth to the pen. Here it is lost. Just my 2¢ Thanks for showing.

Nice pen but the picture makes the blank look to large for the kit. Or is it my PC.??

I think it's a great looking pen (as usual). I like the blank and the work you did with it. Also, while the photo quality looks good, I don't think I like the black background -- there are places where the pen is lost to the background.

That's a stellar looking pen Roy! I think the black is a real winner as it really makes the pen have depth. I also really like how you captured the blank so it's grain flows seamlessly from cap to pen body.

It certainly IS a real beauty Roy. I took the liberty of cropping it and rotated it a bit. I think that even a slight angle looks better than straight on..

Skip That Is Spot on, now instead of looking at a nice pen in a black sea I am looking up at a cloudy sky as it fades off toward the horizon. Now It is displayed as the master piece that it is. Fantastic Job Roy and Skip.

Going to agree with Skiprat as well. Beautiful Pen!!
