Didn't quite come out as i wanted to and i know the composition sucks, but i got very tired of picking up the books that were constantly falling down. So this is where i gave up.

Something like f/32 with 30 sec, lit up with something like 4 flash shots bounced off of a large white poster board, and then worked on the highlights details with a white LED flashlight. A lot of dodging a burning in post.
It's a neat effect you're going for, but it didn't quite come together for me. I think maybe it's the glasses. If you could've found something better for them, it might have worked better.
This is very creative and imaginative. It obviously took alot of time to develop the idea, create, shoot and develop. Photographically it is very interesting and it is one of the better pictures in the challenge. I think, unfortunately, that it might not get the score it deserves as it may not be perceived as "Natural" Great job though.
