•  Support I saw this at QIC and thought it was great! -- Slaunger (talk) 21:45, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Agree, it is beautiful. The only tiny thing that bothers me is that the text is upside down. It would have looked more natural if the photo was taken like the pen had just been lifted after writing on the paper. Most folks don't write upside down. --cart-Talk 21:51, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

@W.carter: That's not upside down text. It's Cyrillic script ... "работа" at right and "всегда" at left, with something incomplete on the right side of the pen nib next to it. Daniel Case (talk) 07:22, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: I meant that the text is "upside down" in relation to the direction of the pen, not the viewer. It would look more natural if the pen was in writing position in relation to the text. Growing up next to the CCCP you do get to pick up a bit of knowledge about Cyrillic script. ;) (there is also a comma in the text to guide you if you don't know the letters) --cart-Talk 08:56, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

• I have to explain; why diagonal, simple - because of composition. That white, unwriten, triangle in corner have some meaning, and nib is pointing to it. Putting this straight would be bad idea. Not just compo, but straight line of white would be strange, even if i would fill half line. Most of all, this go like this. Compo is fine, and i spent more time making compo than shooting itselve. But you can also see Google search, writing text result, see where pen is included. --Mile (talk) 09:46, 1 February 2017 (UTC) p.S. You have left diagonal (text) and right diagonal (pen), that work.

• Not suggesting straight lines but a 180° rotation of just the text (diagonal text is best), and it was only a small consideration, not enough to make into a big thing. I have 'supported' it and all is well. --cart-Talk 11:02, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Good, i would nominate this also. Thanx Slaunger. --Mile (talk) 07:04, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Weak support I also would change the text direction to upside and place the pen upside down in a natural writing position. -- -donald- (talk) 07:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

@-donald-: See my note to cart above. It's not upside-down Latin, but right-side up Cyrillic. Daniel Case (talk) 07:26, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

• • -donald-: The {{Weak support}} template is not a recognised FPC voting template. I have changed to {{Support}} with Weak Support as optional argument, as I assume this was your intent. Please change to {{Neutral}} if you feel you cannot fully support the candidate. -- Slaunger (talk) 16:59, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
