I wanted to avoid the obviously leading opening lines of the bible so I opted for another classic work. Tryed to create a very tight depth of field to highlight the first line of the text.
Converted from RAW color to black and while and brought up the brightness/contrast a bit.

Only criticism is in choice of book version, as collected works means that we see a lot of pages on LHS: doesn't imply "beginning". Also, while I agree that prologue is the right place to emphasise, it comes halfway down page of text - again, slightly off the beginning topic.
When I first saw this shot, I expected it to the be Bible. A nice twist on the challenge. I would have liked to see just a bit more DOF as the title of the book is almost un-readable.
