One of my varsity textbooks standing up right, shot at an angle. Reversed lens macro. The aperture was either f/11 or f/16. As there is no electrical connection between camera and lens, no aperture information is recorded and it's hard to remember exactly what I used.
Lighting: Used a box that had the bottom cut off. Cut a hole in the top and taped a piece of regular white A4 office paper over. Stuck my flash inside, making a nice makeshift softbox. I put the book on top.
Post processing: RAW conversion. Cloned out a small speck of dust in the bottom right of the image. Resize, smart sharpen, border and save for web.

based on the top 10 , i think this should have scored higher, the focus is great, the composition is right on. i guess from what i read people were not sure what this is , hence they voted you down
I love the glow from the bottom. Gives an interesting feel to it. I really like how even though the white on the bottom right is bright it isnt overexposed and you can still see some texture to it.
