NICE SUBJECT, CAPTURES MY ATTENTION. IN MY VIEW YOU HAVE CAPTURED THE THEME. IT REMINDS ME OF A GUSH OF WIND BLOWING THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW OF A STUDY THAT HAS BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED.
This is an interesting image, but the white balance looks off to me. If this shot was lit with tungsten lights, try setting the white balance to tungsten and take a look at the results. It should render the pages white instead of the pale yellow they are now. If the yellow was intentional, then ignore my comment!
wow, interesting idea - fits the challenge with a unique quality. the bottom right corner might be slightly distracting, but not sure how else you would ground the photo.
I SO did a double take when I came to this pic because it looks exactly like a test shot I took for this challenge but decided not to submit. Same angle, same-looking book...everything. Only difference is...yours is beautifully smooth and mine was grainy. ;-) 8
