It really looks like a sudden push of the exposure button. Next time, please, take more care of the background, it's really distracting. Also, try to avoid flash: this is why your foregound is overexposed and the background underexposed. The aura around the book is also distracting, I guess, it is the artifact of the post-process. Next time, please, pay more attention to the set-up. Setting up the photo and the environment takes most of the time when making a photo for the challenge, but I can say, surely, it will pay off. (2)
When I first saw this, I thought he was reading a Dave Barry book! Love the sticky notes. Probably could use some better lighting on this. However, you composed it well, my eye goes up to the book, and then past it to the man's face.
Great idea, IMO. I'm not sure the execution is quite where it could be. I'm seeing halos around the book. I wonder if that's a PP choice, or a slow shutter. The image should have been exposed for the face, and not the book, because the post-its are the star of this image, not the book, IMO. Also, you can see the tape on the post-its and it detracts a little bit. The image is underexposed overall, as well. But like I said, a pretty humorous concept, in general.
i really think that the bottom slightly blurred edges adds to the picture. and the way the book slightly glows is super cool too. and the post its add the final touch. over all, its a great picture!
Not sure how I feel about the composition of this photograph...
The lighting really isolates the book but I feel like the person is lost a little too much.
A fun idea. I wish that your lighting would have made it back to the business person. Specifically the hair starts to get lost in the darker background. I would also think about doubling over tape and putting in under the post it notes as putting it on top of the post it means you get some reflective glare that immediately draws the eye.
