    nicely done. I don't think the blue resin and brown of the banksia are to my taste, but that doesn't take away the beautiful craftsmanship of the final product!!

    Just to be the odd man out I think the colours are fine and go together well.

    I suspect the ladies would be more attracted to this then the the blokes.

    Steve, what camera do you use?, A grey background helps with white balance, close ups allow more detail. Amos
    I like the white one!

    Thanks for the tip Amos. I use to use a regular camera but I found that a smart phone takes better pics. Yeh photography is not my strong point

    Steve, experiment with the smart phone, holding it the other way round may give upright pictures, also the camera section usually has a close up function. Amos
    PS your pens are too good to present with bad photos.

    Steve, instead of standing over your pen to photograph, get on the same level as it, to get a good side view; and as close as your camera allows, you don't need all the background, just enough to fit the pen in. Amos
