Taken in macro mode with 60W lamp light. Croped, converted to mono in channel mixer, levels, brightness/contrast, Some of the Black squares were burnt and a light dodge of the highlights on the pen (my first D/B attempt). v. light USM.

I've never been good at crosswords (I always do them in the TV GUIDE but I wait until the next copy is out so I can cheat before I begin).
Very good idea...I'm sure a lot of people do crosswords to pass the time. The image seems dark overall, which might be the mood you are trying to convey (if that is the case then it's fine)...personally, I think a little more lighting could have done your entry justice, but that's just me and I'm not marking you down any for it.
I feel as if the range is off in this photos in that there is no white anywhere. Other than that, it is a well executed and composed shot with great focus.
