I really like the colors in the pen and the desk mat. I also like the simple composition and lighting that brings ot the glow of the stones in the pen.
normally i find color really does wonders for a photo, the more the merrier, but this seems to have stepped just a little bit over the edge. great composition, use of negagive space, and the lighting is nice and even. the pen and paper are just a little tacky for my taste.
