An appealing image that fulfils the challenge brief
A great abstract John, most appealing. Everything is good about the single obvious pen against the background jumble of pens makes it stand out together with your title it leaves room for an obvious yet subtly mixed interpretation. I like the mono tones and lighting it creates an appealing mood with an air of mystery about it. I like your creative approach.
