There are some things money can't buy, for everything else, there's photography :)
Inspiration:
In this image I was trying to convey the strength of education. It is, IMHO, the most powerful instrument one can have at their disposal. Money, fame, objects and even love all come and go, but it is that element of experience/education/enlightenment that will stay with you forever. Open your eyes, and absorb all that we have been blessed with. :)
Technicals:
Laid out the bed sheet on the side of the room, placed all my books from the last three years in a gradation, glasses in the middle, and used one flashlite for illumination.
Post editing: Darken, contrast, GS, RGB, sepia, resize, border.
Thanks,
Salar

Excepional lighting technique. Great job of printing. The books are actually soft focus, intentionally I presume, because it works very well, adding a bit of mystery. The title is a bit "cutesy" for me.
seems like it should be "knowledge accumulated", but there is "strength in knowledge", so i guess it works, but that would have been a much more effective title. nice shot. lose the border.
Very nice shoot, for a 8 or even more for me... but the "strength" is not in my mind when I watch it... this week this was the difficult point, that's for sure!
