Not sure I really get the connection to the title except for the blossom part but the shot is much to noisy and out of focus, the cropping needs to be more angled, so maybe the corners of the book run from one side to the other, half book/half background. The light is also over exposed on the center of the book. This is a great idea, just needs some fine tuning. :) A 2
This picture is so dark, unclear and filled with noise. I have no idea what your focal point was. This could have been an alright photo had you gotten something clear.
Hmmm... Is the book the Bible? I imagine that the graininess is intentional, which I like a lot. Perhaps if the background was darker, the flower would stand out more thus representing your title better.
