Quick write up... I know this image isn't 100% symmetrical as one of my outtakes which is closer(which I will try to post) but the contrast is what won here. Tried hard to get the paper sections the same on both sides but my patience ran out. I always got the first side pleated nicely but the 2nd got me :) Should've panned/rotated the cam a bit to the right here. One diffused light from the top. This image barely needed any levels adjustment out of cam, shot in camera b/w jpg. So I'm pretty happy with that. The folds do remind me of wings and the pen, the body. "Give me wings so I can fly" was the first title to come to mind but it's pretty cheesy ;)

Greetings from the critique club. I'm really not sure what to say about this image. I mean the voters liked it and commented on it, not sure what else a member of the CC can offer to help you. The only thing that I do notice is that its not really symmetrical as the lower left side is larger then the right side, I think thats a result not being straight on with pen. Otherwise its been well recieved by the voters and I like the post processing.
One of my three 10s in this challenge - I felt you really nailed it with this one (but glad you didn't get the blue ;¬P); I would love to be able to take something this good.
I love how some people can make simple items so interesting and wonderful to look at. This photo has a nice balance to it and is fun to look at. The DOF was the right choice here as is the color (B/W) tones. Nicely done! Bump to 10!
Wonderful. Well conceived and executed. Clear focus, wonderfully shot and processed. I love the shallow DoF, used here to very good effect. Nothing bad to say here.
