Phoenix Rising--Dark subtle, Light Subtle and not so subtle

This is the first time I have made this pen. I would be very interested in your feedback. Personally I think The middle one is the best, but, I am really curious about what viewers think of the other two. It shouldn't be a hard pen to disassemble and add a different blank if needed. Thanks for looking and all comments good, bad, or otherwise are sincerely appreciated.

I personally prefer the darker one, but the middle fits the fiery phoenix motif better.

I like the second and third equally. Nice work.
