This is kinda dull, and I'm not getting the challenge connection. *edit* I get the connection now; and the framing is interesting. Perhaps with more contrast in the background, or just one book, this might have more dramatic impact.
the lighting is a little off. looks like direct flash was used, judging by the flare on the grey bible. try using a diffuser or bounced flash to soften it up. nice take on the challenge.
Great idea! It are a natural edge to the "world´s things". I thought that many DPCs will not see the message behind this shot, but I praise the Lord by people like you. The picture itself is not so stunning, the exposition is high-low areas very contrasting. The "Holy Bible" leters are hidden, but it makes sense, lead to think about waht is it?
