I love calligraphy and a pen like this..all broken into the writer's style...is a treasure that can't be on loan..thanks for jogging my memory and the upload is perfect.

Very beautiful shot! Great composition of all the things a poet needs.
Now maybe it's because I'm a woman, but seeing that paper lying there... makes me wonder what it is that you wrote. LOL
Thanks for sharing this beauty.
I believe this is the piece of yours that I like the most. It's a lot of things that draws attention but the main subjects in the focal plane of the photo are in balance with the all of therest in a very dynamic way. I wouldn't mind hanging this piece on my wall instead of just tucking it away nicely on my computer. I think that what makes this piece for me (besides the perfect lighting and nice color-hues, that is...) is the wonderful composition, underlined by the perfectly used short DOF plane of focussing. Many times I find that what makes a piece really interesting is the play between the different components of the background of the shot. This is a perfect example of that.
This is an exceptional picture. Your closeup and clarity is outstanding, love the angle at which this was taken. Such great focus and I lean towards the background just as much. Wonderful work! Good for you...
