I shouldn't respond because I'm certainly no expert. But, I take it to a photo editer on the computer, like Picnik (piknik.com) and turn down the brightness just a hair. Very nice pen, but the way.
 
That looks better to me, but wait for more experienced advice to help. I just received a light tent in the mail yesterday. Was going to try it today but my wife is leaving for a week and taking my camera! I'm afraid a person can get just as hooked on the photo stuff as the pen making. I just can't afford both,:( can't really afford either:D

The photo is over-exposed by at least one stop, so turning down the brightness in a photo editor is a wasted effort because you've lost detail in the highlight areas. Read the article I wrote on phtographing pens, the link is on the IAP homepage. I think it will help.
