This is Jamie Oliver's Italy Cookbook. I like the shapes and the lines. I was trying to decide whether to go for a full saturated colour image (this one) or a duotone. I have done a few duotones lately, so I opted for this.
Taken with a 105mm F2.8 macro on a tripod. I moved the centre page through the self-timed image to get the movement in the middle pages. I was wondering if it could be a disadvantage with the voters, but it is what it is...
EDIT: Basically USM, Levels, Curves, Cleaned up some spots and stray strands of paper.
PREDICTION: After my last couple of challenges, I really can't make a prediction on this one.

This junmps out of the page at me Enzo, and into my lap, so that I dan read it.....
Totally awesome, and I really thought it would be on the front page, up very high as I really love it.....
Oooooooh, very nice, Enzo! Can't figure out the 5.9 score, but just because the voters missed it on this one, doesn't make it a truly aMAZING paper photo! Way to go!
Lovely. I think it may have been even better if you'd cropped it just above the blue thingy at the bottom (if you're sitting on a 7+ score, ignore what I've written ;-))
clever idea, but the title throws me a bit, where it doesn't really look like a sunrise, especially with the blue center part. it has a nice texture tho.
