Advice on this please....

[Robbo]

....following on from my portrait in ball of a ballpoint pen, im asking your personal advice on the following picture of the composition of the angle of the pen, as I want to show a good reflection and that its of a ball point pen to make the image stronger, rather than just seen a round reflection then blur etc.

please vote on the crops of the same image, or the option of a different angle all together, as I need to figure out the best composition before putting the time in on the set up of the reflection etc.

note the final composition I was planning to have it on a black BG

any advice welcome

I'm going for the last image, think it will look awesome with a black BG.

I agree with three but maybe brushing to get rid of all that debris would be a winner as it is distracting

#2 for me Robbo

I think I'd go with number 2 as well, although I think I would be inclined to perhaps swing the arse end of the pen a couple of degrees anticlockwise.

No.2 here, just that little sharper than No.3

ignoring rubbish pics as this is purely just for the crop and angle, still number two?
